With Katrina coming towards New Orleans, and you living in Shreveport, I was wondering if you're going to be OK (i have no clue if Shreveport is near NO or not, but I thought of you when I heard LA)? If you're close enough to be worrying, I hope you stay safe! If you're not, good deal!

Naturally, this applies for anyone else that's in the LA area that might be affected by Katrina. (SHO's just the only one I know of)

You're all in our prayers! :thumbs:

Thanks for the concern man. Louisiana is shaped like a boot, Shreveport is around where your calf muscle would be, New Orleans is near the toe. Usually when this stuff happens it plays out or down to some high winds and rain by the time it reaches this far north, but i'm afraid those peeps down south are going to get hammered. They are talking about the water rising 14' in N.O. and for a city that is already around 8' below sea level that's going to be disastrous.

Nobody is the only GM member that I can think of that lives down there, he is Lafayette, La which is kind of near where your ankle would be.

I'm glad I don't live in a state shaped like a butt. :P

This is going to miss where I live in Shreveport by a long ways to the East, but for those peeps around N.O. and over into Miss. and Ala., they are getting hammered. Even though it's a Cat 4 and will degrade to Cat 3, the path is going to go up thru Mississippi, I feel for those people in it's path.

I hear that part of the Superdome's roof has peeled away, one levee has failed w/localized flooding. Right now the flooding isn't as bad in N.O. as they had expected, but ... that could still change.

The motels/hotels around here are full and they are having to send people to as far as 180 miles to Dallas for rooms.

Thanks to all for the prayers and good wishes for all of us here in Louisiana.

In Shreveport, we have been fortunate and usually are since we are so far away from the coast. We're FAR removed from the devastation that New Orleans, LA; Gulfport, MS; Biloxi, MS; Gulfshores, AL; and others have witnessed over the past 40 hours or so. It still sort of hits close to home, though, just because New Orleans IS a part of us. I fear that the city will never be the same again, or just might never BE at all. Shogun posted a good picture of New Orleans with rising water. It looks to get worse before it gets better.

We have thousands of evacuees here in our area. LSU-Shreveport has been opened as a shelter, and they have just this evening opened Hirsch Coliseum (a venue for concerts and such) as a second shelter.

If you're feeling charitable, please donate to the American Red Cross. They will be forefront in dealing with the disaster in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and all help is appreciated.

I just about cried last night (and I don't cry real easily). There was some guy on the news that said he had lost his wife. They had gotten in the water, and he was holding her from sweeping away, and she said something to the effect of "You have to stay safe. You have to raise the children. You have to keep them safe." and let go of his hand. The reporter asked her name, in case they found her by some miracle, then asked where the man would be staying. His reply was "I don't know. She was all I had. The house is gone, there's no car. My life is gone, I don't have anything left. I ain't got nowhere to go." He was crying, the reporter was crying. It was one of the saddest things I've seen in a long time.

And good Lord, it didn't hit near as hard as they feared, either. God be with LA.

There are people dead, families destroyed, lives and liveliness destroyed, a few hundred of years of culture washed to sea....Yep, I'm gonna pay $3 a gallon - so I can drive the car that I still have, to the house that I still have (that holds the family I still have), while I mow the lawn that I still have, to go shopping for the clothes and worthless crap like video games and CDs that I can still afford to own.

Not my point at all. As a leader of this Country, how about getting off your ass and doing something. His ways haven't changed. The president should have had his ass back at the White House the second that sucker hit Florida. Sh1t in the middle of Katrina, I was pumping 3" of water out of my front desk and office.

Leave it at what? Why didn't the government do anything about it? They sat and watched this storm hit, when they knew exactly what was going to happen. They should have had busses there before Katrina hit. When it developed off the coast of Florida NOAA had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen once this thing went through Florida. Do you know how many lives could have been saved if the National Guard was called in to get the people out of there before hand. Lots of people died because they couldn't afford to get a ride out or didn't know that there Cat 3 rated levy was built from clay and couldn't handle a 30' surge. It is a tragedy and in my opinion, a LOT more could have been done. Every minute counts when you are going to be hit by a hurricane.

slice, i will agree with you regarding bush getting off his ass but i will take it a step further.....

i understand your hate for the president but you blame america's problems on one man who has been in office for only 5 years now. in these 5 years more tragedy has happend to this country ever in the history of america. times have changed and it is not due to one president regardless if he is handeling things right or wrong.

one thing you do not do slice is push the blame on those that are more responsible such as the gov of lousiana. what the hell are they thinking over there? there is no order and it has become chaos. it will and is going to hurt america even more then what else is going on but after blaming the governor there we need to also go down the chain until we get to the biggest problem of this country which is congress. these people serve no purpose to america and need to be overthrown with the rest of the american government.

i take it after this latest tragedy and the lack of intelligence from any of our politicians, this country is f'd. with greedy scumbags who knew this could happen with the turn in climate and weather problems and refuse to make any sort of plans only prove the fact is that our gov't do not work for the people or care for the people. yet we allow the media to bs us to choose the left or right side when both sides in reality suck ass.

americans need to start judging from their own lives and experiences. we need to look around at the changes and decide what is the problem. out of all the things discussed during elections, nothing has changed like always. does this make bush a worst president then presidents from the past? no, it makes him the same as the other presidents. we americans need to fix this and forget about our government trying to get it done because they are more interested in $$$. americans really need to take care of their own before we look to take care of the world. we are failing as a country and these wars we fight today need to be analyzed since it does this country no good. if we go to war with a country we ought to do it until they surrender and change their policy. we need to stop worrying about their way of life unless it interferes with our future. we should not have to rebuild any country but our own and we the people of america should come first.

america will never get respect as other countries look at us as spoiled. that pisses me off because the majority of people i know are working 50-55 hours a week just to make ends meet. no matter what the gov't get's there cut. we americans need to stick together and forget about choosing sides unless it's against another country in war. no matter who is in office, they are crooked and corrupt. if you ever meet a politician, you should keep in mind the person is crooked.

:dunno:you're 100% correct. Aries talked a lot about how the system is set up and how badly people are taxed to drive the mid sized car, let alone SUV's. When he spoke about how small the engines are in most of the common cars, I was quite suprised. Then again, they're paying what we'll be paying in a few weeks.

What's going to be interesting is to see if these prices stick, and too see if all these people who are driving the gas hogs stop and buy small cars, or if they actually can afford to keep feeding the beasts and just keep bitching..

Maybe less distance to travel but we need our cars too. Public transportation sucks in Germany and it is not true that every place can be reached by scooter or motorcycle. Europe is smaller than the USA but still not sooo small. ;)
It's just that since we have to deal with high gas prices for several years now, we are more trained in driving on gas saving mode. Smaller cars, only drive when u really need to, and so on. So Sal is kinda right with "Cars are used much less in europe"


But it's not really all Katrinas fault that the prices got up so much, I think it was just a "good" excuse for the companies to raise the price so much in such a short time. Some people have to make money out of everything, even such a horrible thing where so many people died :(

Before one of you Anti Bush people poop off with the normal crap, that levee problem and these problems were a problem in the Clinton years too so that's BS that it's Bush's fault alone and that he alone should shoulder that blame. :rolleyes:

There's so much I could rant about and don't where to start or what to say. :mad:

I was at the local Red Cross office today and there were a bunch of people there asking for help and wanting to know where to go, it's sad. :(

Thank God for city of Houston, the state of Texas and the other areas that are taking in these poor people.

Detroit is taking 3,000 people here. As for gas, don't forget this weekend is one of the biggest driving weekends of the year. Come Tuesday I am willing to bet any amount that we are back to the mid $2 range.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is pissed. This interview was last night before Bush was there on ground today and the two meet face to face. I don't care for some of his lauguage, but I applaud his heart and drive. The dude doesn't pull any punches. :thumbs:

:rolleyes: yes, the levee problem was there, and hey, so were the towers too :hmmm:

I don't blame Bush, he didn't do it, he just didn't show any concern or sense of urgency either. I remember Florida getting nailed and Clinton was right there and making sure help was coming fast. Also for the Clinton bashed, one of the first people Jr asked to help raise money was Daddy and Bill :D

I just think our governement at the National level just sucks ass!

Nice to hear the national Gaurd say that they could've responded sooner, if half their sh1T wasn't in Iraq.......

when 9/11 happened, we saw Americans at their best, right now, that's not even close to happening.

There is a song entitled "Louisiana 1927" that came out along time ago, here are few lines from that song.

"The river rose all day,
The river rose all night.
Some people got lost in the flood,
Some people got away all right.
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemine:
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline.

"Louisiana, Louisiana,
They're trying to wash us away,
They're trying to wash us away."

I didn't watch it but the guy is entitled to his opinion. I've never heard of him before until now, maybe he will sell more CDs now.

If you were there to help someone out of the goodness of your heart and some idiots were taking potshots at you with a rifle for trying to help. Would you go back in there or wait until armed forces show up?
