Several people have requested a thread JUST for images of the storm.

Post them here, please.

Beer has little nutritional value, but the grocers can't use it anymore either.

[ftriggerf]

Was about to answer, but forgot what your question was. Can't seem to find it now. Sorry.

[Velveeta]

Thanks, that's interesting.

In this case, if I had to choose between starving or dehydration for my family, or looting a flooded grocery store, whose merchandise will soon be worthless. I'm going to that store. (I would keep track of what I took)

[Velveeta]

The beer will quench the thirst in a pinch. ;-)

I really can't fault the folks for looting food and drink.

It's the ones stealing the flat screen TVs at a time like this who will hopefully get their comeuppance.

Dear LORD. Comfort these people in their time of trouble.

Some people just stumbled into the retirement home of the Original "FLIPPER".

A Bucket of Beer!!!!! Talk about your priorities...sheesh.

[sodpoodle]

OMG now all I will think about is that forlorn chocolate lab.

[najida]

I'm the same way....
Food, drink (even beer and wine) get a pass with me...

OK, mebby ESPECIALLY the beer and wine....anything to numb the pain for a bit.

[COBOL2Java]

OMG now all I will think about is that forlorn chocolate lab.

Me too. And you know, in his own selfless way, that dog is mostly worrying about his owners. :-(

[Velveeta]

LOL, yep. They've got a long road ahead of them.
Might as well take the edge off.

You and I know that the envirocrats will not be happy unless all farming is out of the Glades. It will be interesting to see how the envirocrats will try to turn the tragedy of Katrina into proof of all their doom and gloom.
Let's see how far they get with suggesting the restoration of the Mississippi.

Bravo.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

I am driving a car that was in a flood right now.

Put down the keyboard and get your hands back on the wheel!!!

The picture of young Sam Miller broke my heart. Prayers offered for all who have lost, and all who love them.

[serpentineshel]

Agreed! I did finally find my sister and brother BTW...

My sister and her baby made it to Pensacola to stay with a friend where they have electricity. Her husband is a doctor so he is in Mobile working at the hospital---he is just sleeping and staying there.

By the time my brother's company closed and let the employees leave, the roads were closed and they couldn't leave Mobile, so he and his fiance rode out the storm in his house near downtown.
Several of his large trees came down, but fell AWAY from his house and landed toward the street. LUCKY! They left today to go stay with her aunt who has a generator. It will be weeks before the power is back on in his neighborhood.
