Hemmer is all worried about water back in the ninth ward. Its gone. You cannot fix houses that have been flooded. I feel sorry for the people but FOX needs to get the facts straight.
I was driving around my home town of Punta Gorda and our little town is still in demolition mode from Charley. We are years and years away from being fixed. We still have blue tarps everywhere. Wrecked houses and businesses. Sunk boats in the harbor. It will decades to re-do NOLA. If they do it at all.
Flatware? Did I hear flatware?
Having a Runaway bride de ja vous.
Just ignore me.
She definitely brought CAT4 pressure and storm surge with her. Winds, borderline probably. CAT3 / CAT4 really doesn't matter. There is extensive damage that hasn't been reported yet in Louisiana. Which means more federal money for Lousiana... grrr. We are going to end up dropping 300billion in that state before all is said and done.
I also was reading that Rita was about to drop another 10-20mb from 898 but it started sucking up dry air off Texas. Texas really dodged the bullet on this one. Thank God that high receded.
I agree Sunnyflorida! FOX needs to get their facts straight and pass out a map or two!! I really think it will take a VERY long time to rebuild New Orleans..if they can ever rebuild?
I am so sorry about your town Sunnyflorida...I have never been to Florida but I hear that it is beautiful!!
LOL! I HAVE to win the bid. I am set to go to the wall for this beautiful set. Various relatives divided my grandmother's silver, so I just know I NEED this...lol.
Sleeping through a hurricane is a greater blasphemy than refusing a kiss from Jennifer Anniston.
Yer ate up.
;-)
Water,water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
I believe the worst of the flooding is yet to come.
LOL---I didn't even have to scroll your post to onyx all the way up to know it was from you....
That thread we had about the runaway bride was just about the most fun I have had here on FR...and YOU, my lady, made it that way...what a hoot!!!
Suthren women...I declare!!
Saw her at a gas station once, she didn't offer. I think she was very pretty though with little make-up, not sure because I was looking else where.
Goes along with whatever idiot I heard this morning say he was in downtown Houston in front of the Galleria!

Suthren women -- I declare! FOTFLOL!
Yep, I agree, CJ made that thread HILARIOUS!
If you had to pick a place for Rita to come ashore between Houston and New Orleans, I'm not sure you could do better than what she did.
I don't mind spending the money on fixing things, otherwise it's like surrendering to mother nature. We're only talking less than one year's defense budget here.
Ok we can't win, but we can fight to a draw, or at least try.
What I won't do though, is spend it on new Vuitton purse for Ms. Blanco.
Her and her cronies are the cork in the bottle.
With them in place, nothing goes in and nothing comes out. That's my take on it.
I know what you mean. Everytime I see the gas prices, my jaw drops and I just stare at them trying to figure out. Can't look anywhere else.

There's a link to a video of a flyover made this afternoon of Silsbee and Lumberton at:

Agreed. Can Louisiana recall Blanco and put Jindal into office. He'd be better Governor to lead the rebuilding effort IMO.
If I were in Louisiana, I'd seriously think about starting a recall campaign, if it is legal.
Hmmm,,do you mind if I ask what pattern?
I am sorry, but flatware is like crack cocaine to me!
Ah, the best thread ever was the underpants thread,,I have never laughed so hard in my life.
Thannks! Did she get married or what? The RB I mean.
