1. Oh no . . . .

[Lindsay]

2. I'm afraid there will be more stories like this

once daylight comes tomorrow and they can start really assessing things.

May those lost rest in peace, and peace and strength to those surviving.

[brettdale]

3. Oh No

Those poor people.

5 minutes ago



NEW ORLEANS - Announcing itself with shrieking, 145-mph winds, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast just outside New Orleans on Monday, submerging entire neighborhoods up to their roofs, swamping Mississippi's beachfront casinos and killing at least 55 people

[Pithy Cherub]

7. She is doing the first real life scope of the tragedy and am crying

with her.

[riverwalker]

8. she is in NO

about 5 miles east, in poor areas she said. Heartbreaking. The first real reporting I have heard.

9. very moving...

I'm listening with horror...her reports about dogs yelping and being elecuted by wires & no one can get there... People being trapped in boats or houses...

Brown is doing a good job of keeping her calm, yet getting the story... Jeanne is hanging in there...how awful...

[Pithy Cherub]

10. Jeanne made it real in a way NOTHING else has all day.

The horrific injuries. They had to stop the rescues, they need boats badly. I am in tears! This is only going to get worse.

[Lex]

11. Jesus, she sounds just horrified and broken down by the story.

Very scary. My heart goes out to her and to all the people there.

[Lars39]

13. She's usually pretty unflappable, too, from what I remember. : (

[Lex]

14. Yes, she's a straight-up hard nosed reporter.

She must be tired, horrified, hungry, and wrenched out by the ordeal.

She heard people dying, yelling for help. That doesn't go away.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. I just saw this

on Faux of all places.

[riverwalker]

15. why can't SEALS rescue these people?

thousands of hungry, wet people sleeping on their rooftops in the rain because we don't have enough boats to save them? The police are going home to get their own personal boats to use for rescue, is that right? Why not use all our military amphibious craft to patrol all night and SAVE THESE PEOPLE? We have billions of $$ invested in all this military CRAP, and now that there is a REAL use for it, local cops are using their own little fishing boats instead. DAMN I am pissed.

[Rainscents]

16. AP News is reporting 55 now and it's climing.
