Anyone know wher Nagin is right now? Did he stay in New Orleans or is he off at his new digs in Dallas?
Hopefully, all the looters will die a terrible death in the storm.
I have a question re the tornados. Do they spawn on the East side of a hurricane, anywhere near, or is there a pattern?
This link shows the storms within the storm wind speeds etc over the local areas.

Caution! Reporter Hurricane Warning!
Is it bad that I am making money from my oil holdings off this storm... I can't help but feel guilt sometimes...

Reporter on ABC 13 is talking like the fire is still going on now. The courthouse is not on fire, but the fire is in other areas.
FoxNews showing 'new video' of the fire. If MSNBC said it is out, they are misreporting.
19th & Post Office streets. Still engaged, per reporter, and fire trucks from nearby communities are on their way to the area.
I'm a few miles north of Beaumont. It's raining and windy now. I had almost forgotten what rain is like. It feels good. It's been a long hot summer. I'm going to miss electricity. If anything interesting happens here before our electricity fails, I'll post it.
And my point is that the number of guns owned is no proof of safety - it's more proof of the size of one's wallet. And the photo depicted an inherently unsafe activity. (Yes, two of them had their index fingers straight, which shows they have at least had one safety lesson, but they obviously need a few more)
Ever been in a BB gun fight? Sure teaches you a lot, especially when you lose.
Ever had an 'unloaded' gun pointed at your gut? It'll teach you more about gun safety than you'll ever learn from owning a BB gun. And some of the things that it will teach you is that guns are not toys, guns and practical jokes don't mix, and that you can't really tell if a revolver is loaded or not when you are staring down the barrel.
If you want to play games, get a paintball gun and the related safety equipment, and have at it.
Alan Colmes is asking the dumbest questions.
'There aren't still hold outs, are they?'
Response from reporter -- Oh yes there are many.
PLEASE tell me that some microphoned idiot has gotten whacked by a piece of debris!
FoxNews:
David Lee Miller: There is something going on down the street with all the emergency vehicles there, but we don't know what it is.
[psssttt, David...You're a reporter. Isn't it your job to find out what's going on????]
Good night, and get some rest (sometime) -- someone else can always give you a breather... Daylight should shed more light on this storm (no pun intended).
And G-dspeed to everyone else...

Even early this morning, they were reporting no motels/hotel room even in Okla (OKC). They were telling people to go on to Kansas; also on to Memphis.
