Hurricane Katrina...

[Skiz]

Fox News now says that there is NO drinkable water in the whole city due to a water main busting.

The rising water is now high enough that it has begun to enter the the Superdome, so now all of those people must now seek shelter elsewhere. Most presumably will go to various Red Cross shelters, but how they will get there is unknown.

Looting is happening on a MASSIVE scale. The police say that while they do not condone it, most of them are turning a blind eye to the looting of grocery stores.

The water is expected to rise no less than another 3 feet and possibly up to another 6 or 7 feet. It doesn't sound like much, but like the news stated, "...for the thousands of people living on rooftops and traped in attics, it could be a death sentence."

I don’t think that you even understand the magnitude of this situation. There are more square miles considered disaster area’s than there are square miles in the state of Kansas.

Where's all the National Guard..

Thought thats what their main thing was, State Disaster and Emergency assistance...

it is massive - it is beyond extreme
so why is Bush on CNN saying that they don't have enough ships, and that the oil lines are being secured, people should avoid buying gas and only part of congress have met today and will meet next tuesday to discuss whether to give 10B dollars? when the people in the south need help since the moment they knew it was coming, which is more than a week ago.
wtf?
Sorry Hank not trying to flame but from over here the news looks rediculous.Like nothing is happening.
Is the press helping at all?

Been hearing a lot of ironic things about this.

Over 45% of the army and guard who could be helping are off fighting some random oil war.

The pollution America makes through buring F fuels is the cause of the storms, and is why they are getting worse and more frequent.

In Jan 2001 a list was created of the 5 top things bad that would happen to America. Number 1 was a hurricane in New Orleans, Number 2 was a terrorist attack on Washington, and Number 3 was an earthquake in California.

After Sept 11 more than 50% of the funds that were being put into stopping Numbers 1 & 3 were taking and put into defending from terrorists attacks.

Americans have looted stores and the Wal-Mart gun section has had all the weapons and ammo nicked. Way to go America.

A police officer was shot in the head yesterday after he attempted to stop looters.

TBH it's your own fault. You elected a man who put all the money that should have been for defence into an attack on another country. You are the ones who are nicking guns and shooting each other just for bottles of coke and such. You are the ones who sent of your army to fight a way then need them back home.
