Orleans August 28, 2005. Authorities in New Orleans ordered hundreds
of thousands of residents to flee on Sunday as Hurricane Katrina
strengthened into a rare top-ranked storm and barreled toward the
vulnerable U.S. Gulf Coast city. Katrina grew into a Category 5
hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale by 7:05 a.m. EDT (1105
GMT), with winds of 160 mph (260 kph) capable of causing catastrophic
damage. REUTERS/Rick Wilking

1. But thank you for the photo of the white guy with no shirt on....... NOT

yikes.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. How odd to see the French Quarter deserted

like that.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

3. Must look...and smell...like the inside of Herr Busch's skull.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. I lived in Nawlins for five years....

And I lived in the French Quarter. I used to have to cross Bourbon Street at six in the morning every other day to catch my bus to take me to UNO....Lemme tell ya, it smelled like the inside of Satan's oldest pair of underwear at that hour.

[TomInTib]

14. That's pretty evocative...thanks...I can believe it.

[TomInTib]

4. Well, much as we might like an update, I don't think that the

poor folk all have camera phones and are posting...heck...most of them don't have water - they are somewhat desperate, or they wouldn't be there. Might'nt we chill just a bit in our greed for their news...we are certainly very concerned, but comfortable...they are in it.

[Stephanie]

5. ooh, nasty

what's your problem?

[TomInTib]

8. no problem at all...it is just that we're not in it, and they are...

and we are all sitting at our computers, talking to each other, and hungry for news while the poor folk who couldn't drive out of town are in the middle of it, and they're gonna be in it for the next several hours and the aftermath, and we are not. That's all...

[Stephanie]

9. yeah so take your frustration out on someone else, okay?

[TomInTib]

13. I'm not frustrated...I am just concerned and empathizing...

just where is this vitriol coming from, anyway?...scratching my head while I try to understand these posts...while these poor folks are stuck inside the Superdome...waiting...and waiting...and who knows what they will emerge to see of their city?

6. CNN had video: the kids were palying on the field and the adults

were sitting and walking around on the field. I suspect the kids are having a good time. They've gotten to romp around where the NO Saints play! I think that they are preparing the halls and rampways for people to sleep.

[HKTech]

7. Well, the saints aint happy about it...

They are down by two touchdowns to the O'leary kids.

10. I would imagine that cameras are among the prohibited items, that...

only the "authorized media" (that is, the approved corporate media) are allowed to take pictures. Hence we probably won't see many pix -- if indeed any at all -- from inside the SuperDome. Especially since der Bushler's Homeland Security gestapo is now running the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Good point

I would also bet that not many of the evacuees in the Superdome have cell phones to communicate with the outside world.

[TomInTib]

15. Exactly...my earlier point...probably forget their tin-foil, too....

[newswolf56]

17. If indeed they are even allowed to bring operational cell phones in.

16. That - Second Pic - Is almost Beautiful in a sad sort of way.

The reflected light and all. The human fugure.
