Thanks thanks.
100 posts in the thread works fine.
Thanks.
Would prefer 100 posts of thread header listings, too.
Can't effect that for some reason. Maybe due overload.
No biggy.
A most excellent analysis.
If you can, that is.
If you can't, it is pretty stupid for folks to run around saying you should have done it before the disaster.
I can tell you that the few times I've had to go for days without power, etc due to weather, my gas stove and gas fireplaces were essential survival equipment.
That's wonderful news. While I'm sorry he lost everything, he's alive and that's what counts. So many more are not. Where there's life, there is hope.

I've copied your list to my e-mail and printed it out. Thank you. I see a lot of people don't have a gun on their lists and am glad it's on yours. It's about the only thing we've prepared for, some time ago.
Yep. I believe NO has been FUBAR'd. This is surreal.
BTW, I have enjoyed your posts. They have been full of good logical common sense. We have to keep our heads here and think this one through. It's going to be a long recovery.
Something needs to be done about the Gangsta Rap, too... if the FCC can fine CBS for the Janet Jackson fiasco, then they should be able to start to levy fines for music using the crude language.
That's a relief. Any other FReepers unaccounted for that we know of?
Such wonderful news...
If he needs a place to stay, direct him to the Housing thread
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1473656/posts where many wonderful FReepers are offering up their homes.
Has anyone heard from Liberty2004 yet? They were last heard from, bunkering down in Metairie.
I would just hope that my elected officials would do a better job of protecting me and my community. This is a dismal failure in every sense of the word.
You are right that we can sit around and criticize, but, time will tell, facts will eventually come out, and we'll have to wait and see if more could have been done.
Meantime, if you wish to pick a fight with me, I'm not interested. I only know what I see and am reacting to it just like everyone else.
Just posted and provided a link so that some that have questions may research and prepare for themselves.
As I placed a 'caveat''...one has to discern their own situation, their own hazards. One has to consider whether to make out a Bug Out Bag for a few days, a week or longer.
Naturally weight will exponentially go up with the duration one wants to prepare for and also the number of people involved.
AND!!!..You also have to remember, nowadays any civic/locale/state 'shelter will surely confiscate many of the items on the aforementioned list.

Updates as they come in on Katrina

12:43 P.M. - Kim Nunemaker, St. Bernard Ave. Specialty Hospital: 26 bed-ridden patients and 40 staff members have to evacuate from the building. They need assistance moving these patients down several flights of stairs because the elevator is broken. Anyone who can help is asked to come to 3700 St. Charles Avenue immediately.
Peach,
I had to make myself get away from the computer & tv for a while - but now I'm chomping at the bite - what's the latest? Thanks
Hard to keep track but I think I read somewhere on this thread maybe he's in Baton Rouge now.
Both are extremely offensive to Him. He can tolerate it only so long before letting REAPING WHAT WAS SOWN is allowed to kick in.
The people dying aren't the corrupt ones in office they have escaped with their full pockets. What about those in MS was it sent there because of sinful casinos? What about fires & quakes in Calif.? Aids? All sent to sinners? Kinda like firing a shotgun into a crowd because of one bad person..lots of Innocent people get killed or hurt.
Same thing was said about the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906. "'The Lord sent it, the Lord!' Hard to believe an all powerful and all compassionate God sent this disaster because some have reaped what they sown..what about the rest, did they sow this? I'm not convinced.
Chertoff just confirmed shooting of national guardsman in leg during the overnight (reported here on FR about 11 hours ago) . . .
I know they are being shot at. I am responding to other posters who seem to agree with me. This is a disaster of biblical proportions, wouldn't you agree? I think it's appropriate to call our U.S. Representatives. Remember, there were guns pointed at people in Pinellas Park but they were pointed at us by LE. Nobody wants to get shot. Nobody wants to die on the steps of the convention center either.
