Remembering Katrina
 

Today marks 10 years and some of the memories are still vividly fresh. Please take a moment in prayer for all those who were lost in the storm and the weeks following.

W, you gots dem gooduns. Turn 'em loose, f-o-o-l. :)

Sorry, I can't be as sympathetic as it appears most of you are. Yes, it was a b*tch, but what about Rita? No mention of that little storm. The way I look at it, it's been 10 years and lots of peeps are still looking for handouts. When does it ever end? Why no mention of what the victims of Rita went through?

I'm sure on the anniversary of Rita, there will be a post made also..... Until then...... Grab me another Heiny Mr. looter dude and leave the trout alone.

This may end up in the Gill Net lol.

....

W, the pic didn't post on my end.


Rita? Rita who? :rolleyes:

Lol, starting ****

:cool:

Anybody got the shot of "Dood" on Letterman? I almost cracked a lung when I saw that one. W?

When "Dood" is involved....it usually does. :)

Sorry, I can't help it. :)

I can't feel sorry for those that died in New Orleans as they were told to leave! I also don't feel any sympathy towards them as they live in a bowl subject to flooding!

brutally honest, but still an honest comment. Then in the aftermath, many/most of the Katrina victims waited for government to help put their lives back together while the Rita victims rolled up their sleeves and began rebuilding on their own.

Bluechip: I'm guessing that the coverage on the anniversary of Rita won't result in more than a passing comment rather than the 24/7 coverage of Katrina.

I figured Obummer was gonna stop at the cameron ferry and make a speech about rita next month...

Don't hold your breath for that!! Most people that Rita affected didn't sit around waiting for a hand out from the government and I doubt they are Obama voters.

Dangit. I was one of many around here with a 50 yr old oak laying on my living room floor when I got home. Not 1 dollar from the government and I'm still living in the same house. No news coverage here lol.

He even got one in his back pocket!!!! Lol!!!!!

It's not "News" worthy if Hurricane smashes into SETX and SWLA because it's filled with middle class citizens who handled their business; not enough drama for the politicians and news.

I certainly understand the feelings of you guys in the west when it comes to Katrina vs Rita. I understand all too well...since I was part of Katrina's devastation, yet, my parish was never even mentioned.

Had it not been for the levee breaches in Orleans....Katrina would have been no more than a passing thought. On Tuesday morning, as residents of Washington Parish were trying to fathom what had happened a day earlier, the news stations were reporting that N'Awlins had "dodged a major bullet". It wasn't until the afternoon that they realized the water was rising at a rate of 2 feet per hour. Problem is...it was too late! FEMA dropped the ball on this one, and, it didn't help to find out that Katrina was bigger than the Federal government.

Personally, I wanted Katrina to fill that bowl with sand and wipe it off the face of the earth. While I'm not happy with the loss of life...they were told to get out. The New Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office asked that, if you refuse to leave, please write your SSAN on the inside of your front door. That, alone, should have been enough.

The government's response to Katrina was a comedy of errors. "Lootie" is a result of that.

When Blanko and ray "chocolate city" Nagin told Brownie and bush we got this.
They sealed the fate of all those that chose to stay.
Response would have been immediate if they wouldn't have played the politics game would have said yes get us some help and rescuers and supplies and national guard would have been on stand by the day of the storm .Not having to mobilize after the levee broke. My favorite Blanko of all time is when asked what she was going to do for the folks in Bogalousa ? Her reply was right now we need to let Mississippi handle their own problems???

Yeah, Bob...that was classic and, sad thing is...Jindal believes it, too. :eek:

Blanco wanted the Federal help from the Armed Forces, but, she didn't want Bush to "federalize" the LA National Guard 'cause she didn't wanna lose control. It would'a been under the control of Gen. Honore'. Biotch had no clue what to do.
