katrina's wrath check this out!!!!!

on cnn now "breaking news" the police are shooting looters one after another in la. :thanks2:

I spend 2 semesters at UNO and that city can't take more than a couple consistant inches of rain before roads become rivers. they lost 22 buildings in all but the real problems are just around the corner. water temp still in the 90's means more storms with ground oversatuated city might become a sinkhole deathtrap. Imagine a street with nothing to support it. pray for these ppl, just gotta pray.

l8nights, i don't know what you read in my post that prompted that reaction. people looting stores should be shot like the dogs they are.
just because i don't type up a paragraph about this issue, doesn't mean i don't sympathize with people in situations like that. there isn't enough compation in the world for all the suffering from 9/11's, tsunami's , starvation, war etc.... :sueme:

the looting is a natural reaction to truamatic events. With New Orleans however, the cops have trouble with the crime to begin with. you throw a class 5 Hurricane in the mix and you got trouble. Some of the most impoverished people in the US are right there in the tower projects. How many of them do you think were evacuated? The cops won't go in there unless it's to take out the dead. So now the ones who were left behind are looting from the wealthy of NO well good for them. I saw the towers and the poverty is without equal to any i've ever been witness to. Desparate times my friend, desparate times.

@ columbo I have known you to be of upstanding character in previous post but I guess after seeing that guy telling of how his wife was swept from his grasp I was just a little stirred
the confusion I guess was that I mistakenly took la to mean L.A. los angelas I thought the comment was in jest sorry I did not intend to offend

@daft this is true the area most affected is urban if not ghetto the levy that broke was in very poor repair there have been reports of negligence by the us government but in all likely hood this could have been intentional (I question their motives) just let you know of whom we can depend if it weren't for kind souls willing to give a helping hand I don't think we would have anywhere to turn

no worries l8nights, mt typing could have been clearer. La. (louisiana) not L.A. (los angeles). no offense taken;)

looking at msnbc right now it is much worse than they were saying yesterday, already death estimates are in the hundreds and may go to 4 digits. they're shipping off 25, 000 to houston astro dome, fear of disease outbreak---and if that's not enough(totally un-related) 719 iraqis killed to day because of a bomb hoax--they were trampled or plunged 30 feet to their death trying to escape from a bridge over the tigris river.

I keep thinking about that movie Day after Tomorrow. Man that would suck worse than an all expence trip to Kaz..

now it's about 1000 iraqis dead....

kinda sounds like the second coming to me I keep waiting for a third of the worlds grasses and trees to burn oh yeah anybody read about northern calif. I guess that has already come to be what next river's run red right?? I've got some sins to confess!!! I'll post back next year?? I still think it is all a conspiracy but that diserves it's own forum imo

conspiracy?

the only conspiracy here is the price gouging of fossil fuels. I live in Jersey and we're currently the cheapest at 2.79 a gallon. How friggin low are these gas giants that they use a catastrophy like NO to hike the price 30 cents.
both sites in NO have already made it clear that they're 2 weeks from running status. god i pity the SUV owners right now. and satans cleaning up for the oil execs in the first circle. He might run out of space at this rate.

well that is but one theory there is the war which needs these fuel reserves and the farther gas prices rise the less the general population will/can afford to use!!

as there are more resources available to many of the big oil/energy conglomerates(?where is my dictionary)than the government itself, I think they play a bigger role in decision making than any know??

the disease could have been predicted as I think they're sewage was pumped out into the bay that is currently consuming them! do you know how hard it is to control a population that is so large when your resources for social security and medicaid have withered to nothing.

don't listen to me though i' a lunatic I still think bush had a part in the twin towers just to get re-elected!!

"i' a lunatic I still think bush had a part in the twin towers just to get re-elected!!"

i sincerely hope your kidding....:rotfl:

Well were I am here in Canada our gas is at 1.07/liter...I guess that would be over $4 a gallon or so..and in some other parts here it is over 1.30/litre...and I gotta be honest........I don't trust son of a Bush 'W' either....

that is just the beggining think of the property tax that is to be gained form rebuilding this ocean front property time shares mansions are to follow mark my words!!

think of the legacy bush would have if this was just the push to levy the vote for engineering the hydrogen powered car right now there is not enough concern but the oupour of ppl complaining about $5-$10 a gallon might just over power the oil co.'s
las time I bought a gallon of water I think it was about 40 cent's

i don't reckon bush had a part in the twin towers collapsing, but i DO reckon he used 'war on terror' as an excuse to do whatever he wanted.

yeah he sure made a mess in iraq...there is so much suffering, death anxiety. that country is hell on earth right now. people are dying hourly---for what? i'm still a bush supporter, but think that it was a big mistake to go in----but i think we have no choice but to stay the course now. if they wanted and real progress, even temporary, they would have to implement steady bombing campaigns like in wwII....

:army2:

p.s. whoever gave me a neg rep point for this thread
http://forum.digital-digest.com/showpost.php?p=292881&postcount=2
ought to retract it since it was clarified :smashead:

don't get me wrong I support bush also I voted for him and re-voted for him the world is over populated enough The war? well any war is going to be a mess that is the nature of these things nothing good should come from war but I do believe it was war that pulled us out of every major recession this country has ever dealt with I don't think bush hired a bunch of ppl to blow a majorly populated portion of america's economic chain but I do believe the knowledge was there and instead of preventative measures there was instead plan's on what to do after just like katrina the devastation was underestimated
come-on how are they going to know the name of the org. responsible the name of operatives the leader (osamma) their locale and a million other details in (enough to wage a complete war) a couple of day's w/out prior knowledge.
but as far as it being wrong the only judges of what is wrong or right is the person looking @ you in the mirror and the one looking down from the heavens

seems like death and destruction the world over

the only conspiracy here is the price gouging of fossil fuels. I live in Jersey and we're currently the cheapest at 2.79 a gallon. How friggin low are these gas giants that they use a catastrophy like NO to hike the price 30 cents.
.
since my last post on this thread we are at 3.09 a gallon. that was yesterday people. I heard that it is going to go as high as 5 in Jersey which means 8-12 in other areas. only bene to NJ is the refineries. cheaper gas but sin tax on everything else. cost me 50 bucks to fill my car today. Bush is making boatloads off this coming from oil wealth and all. I am really starting to dislike our Pres.
ps.-has anyone seen Cheaney?

I would like to appologize to the members outside the US for complaining about the price of gas. My boss is from the UK and he gave me an ear full about how much he pays and for how long he's paid it. I believe his exact words were suck it up.

I know late last night, I read off MSN news, gas is $6.00 a gallon and climbing in the state of Georgia.

Our President, good 'ol George W. also mentioned that the prices are rising and there might be a shortage...and then the brilliant statement "If you don't need it, Dont buy it now" :rotfl: :rotfl: Who the @#$% buys gas when they don't need it??

jm, I think he would be referring to the "Anal Retentive" people who don't let their gas tank get below a half tank on the gauge.

I think GW is not takeing into consideration the fact that we haven't gone horseback in the last 100 years. easy mistake to make when you as rich as he is. The real problems are going to be from the increase pricing in the transporting of goods. with increases in oil come a increase in everything that is delivered. not long before we're paying 5 bucks for a loaf of bread. the middle class is shrinking right before my eyes gentlemen.

jm, I think he would be referring to the "Anal Retentive" people who don't let their gas tank get below a half tank on the gauge.

I must be "Anal Retentive Preventive" then I gotta it down to a science how many miles I get when the reserve light come on..


@DAFT - definitely disappearing, I see your in the North East I'm in Jersey...Real Estate Taxes, car insurance, utility bills, now gas and your right everything that gets transported by truck is gonna go up....and everybody that makes something will do it too just to make more money.

careful on the roads too...they lifted the hours truck drivers can drive now cause of Helena...gonna be a buncha nuts driving 24 hours a day 'til they kill somebody.

I'm in Jersey too. thinking of selling the house to pay my gas card this month.
let's not forget how much it's gonna cost to fill a my 500 gallon heating oil tank twice this year. think i'm getting a refrigerator box to live in boys.

How low do people get? - Police in Hattiesburg, Miss., said a man fatally shot his sister in the head over a bag of ice.

ever read Lord of the Flies?

Nope

I'm in Jersey too. thinking of selling the house to pay my gas card this month.
let's not forget how much it's gonna cost to fill a my 500 gallon heating oil tank twice this year. think i'm getting a refrigerator box to live in boys.

Bless ya, ya can still afford a new fridge to get the box, I'm hopin winter comes soon so I can keep stuff cold :smile:


@jmet- crazy people here do that even without a hurricane

@DAFT -

they're pretty much at 'lord of the flies' level (at least from what i have read so far)

Our President, good 'ol George W. also mentioned that the prices are rising and there might be a shortage...and then the brilliant statement "If you don't need it, Dont buy it now" :rotfl: :rotfl: Who the @#$% buys gas when they don't need it??

the same ppl who are out buying the biggest gas guzzoing suv's they can find I think i read that car sales have sky-rocketed this year dealors are actually running out of a lot of model's for the most part suv's

and all these pll are driving around showing off their new rides.

I can look out my window and watch on the highway as the same couple caravan's travel up and down it most in brand new car's their purpose apparently none in aday's time you can notice the same group alway's folowing alway's at least five of the regular car's passing by at least a dozen times

of course they all belong to the military and are not being used in any useful way that I can tell just to drive back and forth wasting gas

it gets worse day by day in La. (louisiana l8nights);) i just seen this morning a chemical plant exploded and "rocked" the city. just what they need. that whole city is completely finished....for many years. and hurricane season isn't over till what dec?

What a freaking lord of horse ****, luvy system was design only for category 3 hurricane not 4 or 5, they knew hurricane passes by once in while, it was bound to hit some day, I'm not blaming the poor citizens, what is pissing me off, how come they didn't design better luvy system, O....well they learned their lesson now, after million of millions damages, now they will come up with better design, It is going to take couple year to rebuilt & bring the city back to normal position.

that's true

I think millions and millions isn't even scratching the surface of the the repair bill on a city like NO. I'll look up the estimates but with the city out of commish for at least a couple of months and the threat of widespread diseases taking out the exsisting pop they prob will never recover. I read they are having trouble getting doctors to go down and assist due this threat. I think the NO as we all remember it is no more, I mean if it you planning the releafe effort your first job is to address where to begin the clean up. The looters won't leave, and they have proven that they will take action against anyone who tries to make them. don't even know how to approach this mess. Glad I'm not in charge.

There definetly should have been more preparedness done thats for sure. What I find interesting from a social stand point is when the Tsunami hit how many 10's of thousands died...how this hurricane seems so much worse then that since it happened here...I am in Canada so thankfully we don't have to worry about such things however The company I work for is a major office supply company and I deal exclusivly with American business so it is affecting me. I have heard from my custs in Fl and In La and I have heard first hand about the devistation in the area...it really leaves me feeling kinda helpless....

on top of everything, now this
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9178253/

any body want to buy some ocean fornt property it is going for cheap!!
hell I jest but this could quite possibly be one of the best investments that ever fell into someones lap. as the state has to put some effort into rebuilding the levy and surrounding community to avoid being labeled as uncaring!!

a side note for all those in surrounding communities (tx,ok,ms,and others)wishing to buy a new home all "hud
homes" have been taken off the market to provide housing to those displaced by the hurricane

@ lt thanx for the clarification because man I'm thick!!lol

"@ lt thanx for the clarification because man I'm thick!!lol"

;) :toast:

The part that gets me about this was that on the news quite a lot of people are talking about the study that was done last year that predicted this is the exact thing that would happen in a bad hurricane.

Suggestions were made to be prepared for evacuating the people and giving them food, water, clothes, tents etc.

The last guy I seen stated that a woman from FEMA stated " This is America, people don't sleep in tents", he went on to say if he seen the woman again
he would probably strangle her.

Hey lady, wherever you are, your right FEMA lets them bake in the sun with no food or water for 3-4 days, drink polluted water contaminated with urine and feces and smell it all day.

Heads should roll.

The Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin, (I think I got his name right) should be given the Congressional Medal Of Honor for waking everybody up with the things he said on CNN. God Bless him..the man has b a l l s!!!

In London, petrol is around ?/$8.30 per gallon now. I live in the country and it is still over ? per gallon. I am spending about 150% more money on petrol than I was 10 years ago.

I am spending about 150% more money on petrol than I was 10 years ago.
The kind of inflation nwg speaks of should be criminal. In 8 months of this year we have climbed 47% ( mostly in the last 2 months). A third of the inflation in a 15th the time. I don't mind inflation, hell every raise i've gotten comes out of someones pocket. The problem is at this rate we'll be paying the same as you by this time next year, and more by the next. I read that the Hybrid cars, when involved in an accident have a 25,000 dollar fine due to the battery clean up or something. The EPA is not making alternatives very cost effective to average ppl. My boss is driving a Hum V one minute and now he parks his Civic next to mine. The world is upside down, feels alot like after 9/11.

God! With that price you're moaning! We pay here in UK $7.02 a gallon.

50 rigs down, 8 refineries down just along the gulf states. Relief in sight? doubt it! SFR utilised for how long before the reserves gone to low too. I bet next move will be to start drilling into the oil reserves in Alaska with the mighty wrath of the conservationists and naturalists owning SUV's themselves will be in the max. Hey! why don't you in US start conserving fuel because analyst predicting crude to top $90 soon and high oil price here to stay. Here in UK we pay ? a liter now I bet GB won't give a damn he owns an oil company!

The kind of inflation nwg speaks of should be criminal.

I started thinking about it and it is actually nearly 15 years for that 150%. It is still too much and is mainly fuel tax. Petrol at pre-tax level is the second lowest in Europe and is the most expensive after tax (France is nearly equal with unleaded).

Diesel is now more expensive than unleaded. It used to be about 20% cheaper than unleaded. Businesses are losing money so they have to get rid of people and/or transport as they cannot afford to run them.

There has been a fuel strike a few years ago where the country went dry of petrol. Perhaps, it is time to do it again?

Onto Katrina. I can't believe the devestation left by it. I just heard that a couple of the poorest countries in the world has given aid to the US!

well I do feel sorry for the people in the flood areas down there but ,,
common sence should tell a person (hey if I live in a town below sea leval,
sooner or later the sea will come in my town),,I mean it don't take a rocket sientist to
figure out if ya live in a hole ,it will fill up with water,,

On the news just now. The average price of petrol is now officially over a ? a litre due to the effects of the Hurricane. Apparantly, some garages cannot put the price up over 99p as the pumps won't allow it.

I found out that for every ? of petrol. The government gets 62p (47p Fuel Duty and 15p VAT) !! The rest is the cost of the petrol itself.

Everyone is speaking about hybrids and alternatives to travel and the list goes on and on. I remember a show Called "beyond 2000" that used to show the newest advances in various fields of research. This Gentleman from Hong Kong developed a Sonic washing machine that could wash cloths and dishes and just about anything else you could think of. I saw this machine take the lead out of a pencil and doing all this while not producing a simgle pollutent save the dirt and energy to run it. This device was purchased by the Company that produces Tide detergent. They bought the Copyrights and shelved the project to protect there existing line. We are nothing more than the products we consume to these ppl. I for one have laundry to do.

yeah $$ comes before environment, it should be the other way.

i don't even know how to use a laundry machine, sorta scared of them....luckily my wife does it for me;)

back to the original topic of this thread....whatta ya'll think of this?

Barbara Bush: Things Working Out 'Very Well' for Poor Evacuees from New Orleans
By E&P Staff

Published: September 05, 2005 7:25 PM ET updated 8:00 PM

NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George
H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in
Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the
poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this
evening on American Public Media's "Marketplace"
program.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the
Astrodome that included her husband and former
President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son,
the current president, to head fundraising efforts for
the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack
Obama were also present.

In a segment at the top of the show on the surge of
evacuees to the Texas city, Barbara Bush said: "Almost
everyone I’ve talked to says we're going to move to
Houston."

Then she added: "What I’m hearing which is sort of
scary is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is
so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."

IMO what's working for the bush's is that the price of gas at the pumps has gone up lining their greedy wallets even more

:rotfl:

bush, greedy?

can't be.....

have a great bush pic but can't figure out how to post it.
anyway, the bush family in this country are like little "rich ppl everywhere" mouthpieces. there is no way for them to relate to 98% of the countries pop and in turn we have no way of understanding how to thinki like a filthy rich guy. for all we know we would be nodding our heads in approval if we had the money this family does. A good way of looking at it is with education. I scored a 1260 on my SAT's and I don't think for a second I had a chance getting into an Ivy League school. Bush not only got in but essentually cheat the system with barely passable grades. It's the golden Rule guys, whoever has the gold makes the rules. can anyone say Illuminati?

and in the sixties/seventies their were supposedly carberators that were developed that were supposedly to give between 60-70 mpg. Oil companies bought the patent rights from the ppl that developed them and shelved them to sell more gas.

:rotfl:

bush, greedy?

can't be.....
i thhhink LT's quote grasps theh heart of that post best. the moral, make things that depreciate so your clients have to return to the market.
god I thought The Screwtape Letters was a work of fiction.

are you aware that hurricane rita (cat 4) storm is heading straight towards you?

"east texas" i seem to recall where your from, but won't mention it since you may have a reason for changing your title location. if my memory serves me (and geography) your far inland and basicly as of now almost in line with galveston which is the current eye landfall prediction! get out jmet!

Longview, TX

Longview, TX

@jmet - I hope everything goes all right down there, we don't want all your good "Answers,My Friend, to be Blowing in The WInd"

lol thanks jm! :)

"Longview, TX"

that's the one;) let us know how the weather is there in this thread as that monster heads your way!

okie dokie, will do!

now it's a category 5, cnn breaking news "3rd worst hurricane on record" (stronger than katrina)

http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/6530/gulfvs5xm.jpg

We are suppose to see some side effects from it here on sat night, or sunday morning.

i trust you'll keep us posted, barometric pressure readings, wind velocity the whole 9 yards!

(i kidd);)

actually i just heard it is now officially the worst storm (power i guess)in the history of texas....

I just hope we don't lose our power! I'll go freaking insane with no computer! lmao :bglaugh2:

i know what you mean, i lost mine twice this summer, it was a bonus when the a/c was off too....

guys that thing is a cat 5 now and they think it's going to turn up. the gulf is still pinballing storms because of the heat. that thing is big enough to reach you jmet start boarding up or just get out. with the weather these days better safe then sorry. keep us updated and hope your all ok down there.

ps.-alittle off topic but still incredible. did you see that Jet blu emergency landing last night. talk about a seasoned pilot earning his pay. one of the scariest things i've ever seen live.

yeah i saw it live, i was expecting it to turn out worse than it did, you really have to commend the pilot and the people on the ground.

I just had a report about it on the UK BBC news. Apparantly, it is bigger than the whole of the UK at 400 miles wide. :eek:

this hurricane is gonna smash the livin crap outta the texas coast, 15% of the nations oil refineries, are in the crosshairs too. just wait to see what happens to gas prices after this....i don't know who the hell would want to live in these hurricane prone areas of the u.s....

Hurricane Rita has the potential to flood an area almost twice the size of New Orleans when it reaches shore early Saturday, causing tens of billions of dollars in damage to the Houston metropolitan area and plunging yet another major Gulf Coast metropolis into disarray.

A study performed last year by the engineering firm Dodson & Associates found that a Category 5 storm could inundate 369 square miles of Harris County, which contains Houston and some of its suburbs. The study estimated the total cost of a worst-case storm at $80 billion, with 75% due to flooding and the rest from wind damage.


In Galveston, Texas, where the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history killed up to 8,000 people in 1900, flooding is a virtual inevitability. "Galveston is going to suffer," city manager Steven LeBlanc said at a news conference Thursday.

The city is protected by a 16-foot seawall specifically designed to block incoming storm surges. But some forecasters said Rita could pound the barrier with waves twice that high.

Also subject to flooding are Texas City and other centers of chemical production and petroleum refining. As they did before Hurricane Katrina, environmentalists worry that Rita could cause the release of toxic pollutants at one or more of the 87 chemical plants, oil refineries or petroleum storage facilities along the Texas coast.

"Dozens of chemical plants and petroleum facilities lie in Hurricane Rita's path, many of which may not be adequately prepared to prevent toxic releases," said Tom Natan, research director of the National Environmental Trust.If this thing is still a Cat 3 or higher when it hits shore, you guys are gonna need alot of luck down there, or it will make N.O. look like a pool party.

Apparently the recent storms are part of a 20 year storm cycle for the gulf and we got another 10 years of this nonsense. My parents owned a house in Tampa until last years hurricane season. they sold at a loss because the insurance is too high now. we got some bad times ahead if those financial gurus are selling in the red, first time in there lives they ran from potential profit. proof that the apple not only falls far but then rolls into the next time zone. Jmet get out of there man, we need you in here!!!

Well, it was bad I will admit. I got up Saturday morning and looked out the back door at the lake and saw it "white capping". We (We = Amber and I, and her daughter Gabby) then all loaded up taking only the necessities. I grabbed my dogs and put them in their kennel and put them in the back seat. Off we went, well so we thought any way. lol About 2 miles down the road a "FULL SIZE" tree was ripped completely out of the ground, roots and all laying across the middle of the road. So then I had to turn around and back track about 10 miles. I finally get into town (where amber lives) and my dogs were so scared and nervous, one of them had a massive diarrhea attack all over them selves. The worst part is we couldn't roll down the windows cause it was raining so bad and I had to drive about 20MPH all the way there cause the rain was coming down so bad. It stunk so bad, you cannot even fathom the smell. Well, we arrive at Ambers house and begin to unload everything. I had to stand out in the rain and wash their kennel out. There was feces (to put it politely) all over the place. Plus they were both covered in feces. Then after I get there, we had to go back out in it as Amber's mom HAD TO HAVE her medication (it was a matter of life and death). So I drive to the local pharmacy and pick that up. On the way home, there were trees laying down every where. All of the traffic lights were out, so there was mass hysteria on the roads! I don't know what was worse, watching out for the other idiots driving or what the wind was blowing at you. I finally get back, then the power flickers on and off the rest of the day. I watched out the window as people backyard fences were uprooted and flying through the air. A tree fell and crushed Gabby's swing set (she was heartbroken). Finally at about 9:00 PM, it started to let up alittle, as it was just rainy. Woke up this morning, and it was like nothing had ever happened, aside from all the trees and limbs on the ground. Sunny and about 80 degrees outside. My mother told me they were without electricity all weekend, and it finally came back on here about 5:30AM this morning.

All in all, a unforgettable experience to say the least!

Good to be back,

jmet

i (we) appreciate the story jmet, that is somethin. i sympathize with the feces (to put it politely, although i use another word) episode. any flooding in the longview area? glad to see you're alright. isn't electricity great? :smile:

No flooding that I recall seeing on the news.

It makes ya wonder how they did it before electricity was invented. lmao :bglaugh2:

no kidding...i get depressed even with no power..... :-(

A horrible experience jmet - but thankfully you and yours are all OK.

We were thinking about you, that's for sure :)

Regards

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers! I am so glad to be back! :)

glad everything(excluding the fecal episode) is ok. I just cannot fathom all this storm business. I mean enough already with the disasters. Anyway, very good to have you back with us jmet.

yeah i know what you mean---friday night's nbc nightly news was all disasters----not a single word about the beheadings in fallujah!

Glad you are O.K. Jmet. Although I hear it was your driving that scared the dogs!!!

All in all, a unforgettable experience to say the least!
Good to be back,jmet

I'm glad you didn't wind up like Dorothy and you didn't have to go see the Wiz in Oz!!!

Wiz in Oz = blutach ?? :D

Nice to have you back jmet - see you decided to opt for the dogs 5hitting themselves story rather than admit you did it !! Nice one...... erm..... sorry......
