OK, here's a shot of the chaos before the storm

 

 

920573-3237544ky.jpg

 

I remember seeing that shot and STILL dont understand why they didnt use another 2 lanes for exiting car traffic!! I mean, sure looks like only a trickle of cars were going the other way, huh?

 

Seems like local planning should have anticipated that since NO does have over 1 million residents.

 

Some states have planned for that. During Ivan and Dennis, the AL gov turned I-65 into a 4 lane North bound.

 

Concept: An idea or thought.

 

Don't stay in a city when a mandatory evacuation has been ordered with the hopes of looting becasue everybody is gone.-Unrulyappendage

 

....and most of the people who stayed behind did so because they can't afford a car, much less the gas to drive one. Most of those people earn less than $ 13,000.00 per year! Below poverty level!!!! makepoint.gif

 

Hey, look at the picture!!! makepoint.gif : "I've got a great idea! 893scratchchin-thumb.gif Let's stay here,...loot the place when evryone's gone!" What'cha think 'bout that?!? confused-smiley-013.gif

You're welcome to bite my arse whenever you're ready! flowerred.gif

 

I am done with this, though. The thing about "banging your head against a wall" is,...it feels ssooooooo good when you stop. makepoint.gif

 

 

Sure hope none of you have a disaster happen to you anytime soon!

And here's the local buses that could have been used.

You mean the ones Nagin should have sent to round up Fuelman's impoverished $13K earners who had no other means of getting out of New Orleans? Oh, sorry, Fuelman - it was Bush who should have given that order, right? boo.gif

We can Monday morning quarterback this until New Orleans is re-built, but that won't solve anything in the here and now. Should all coastal areas that are in hurricane paths have evacuation routes, yes,,,and they should do like Miami, ,,,have pick up areas for the handicap and those without transportation. But that won't change what has happened and what will happpen in the days, weeks, and months to come.

 

Money from individuals, corporations and from other countries will help. Cities across the country, going through their housing lists and coming up with real apartments and homes for all of the the displaced will help.

 

 

What we have seen and learned in the past few years are unfortunately there is no Superman, he isn't here to stop an attack on Towers, he isn't here to be able to stop a huge tidal wave the circles the globe, and now he isn't here to save the people along our Gulf coast. What we have found out that there are many Batmen, Daredevil's, Spider-men and Captain Americas, they are our Coast Guard men and Army flying in for daring and heroic rescue missions, a job that they never in there lives thought they would be doing. They seem to be tireless! These men and women are true super-heroes. And although we may not be able to do it ourselfs, sending money to help may not make us super-heroes, but at least feel a little better about ourselfs!!!

 

God bless everyone down in the Gulf Coast!!!!

gossip.gif I'm here for you, Darth, if you need a shoulder to cry on! thumbsup2.gif

 

It's your posts on this NO situation that make me cry. Up until now, I actually thought you were OK and pretty funny confused-smiley-013.gif

 

I now question how "Okay" you are, as well. confused.gif

 

It's not ever been a "NO" situation,....more of a "let's not be consired" situation. As I see it, in the comfort of my living-room, it didn't become an issue to "those who could" until yesturday. Now they're all on board,.....days late.

 

 

What if that had been you & your loved ones? confused-smiley-013.gif

well, if it had, I'd be doing everything possible to secure their safety and health. "finding " food and clean water = priority one. finding a gun for protection - for sure. multiple plasma screens, jeans and shoes? Would not even think about it.... if we got caught in the flood - well, we'd be too dead now to care or complain about it? Right smile.gif
