6. This area appears to be Southwest part of LA
not near New Orleans ... closer to wear Rita made landfall.

3. They had a Parish official on briefly...
terrible flooding there ... some footage of flooded areas ... trying to rescue people ... not a lot of other details.

Looked like it was raining pretty good.

13. Yes.
I noticed that this morning....all the reporters, etc. in TX, when to me it looked like the shit really went down on the east side, i.e. Louisiana AGAIN....

and no one was talking about it, at all. Except for Lake Charles (I think that is it? Is that in LA?) .

7. What's happening is that FEMA doesn't give a shit about Louisiana.
They're too busy hanging out with Bush, Governor Goodhair, and Tom Delay in Texas.

They're havin' a back-slappin' good-ole-boys party in the Lone Star State.

8. My fear is that the weather still looked bad enough from video...
that it will really hamper rescue efforts ... supposed to rain there at least through tomorrow.

11. This is a slow moving storm. There is more rain to come
That is why I am wary of the "dodge the bullet" talk until the storm actually dissipates.

10. The hurricane moved east, MSM unprepared for that
But that's what weather does.

As the rain continues--and it will--there will be more problems along the LA/TX border where the storm is centered. There will also be more problems in NOLA as water levels rise. The MSM will have to move their big people back to LA.
