Re: 50

it's looking pretty bad. i was thinking that new orleans was somewhat sparred, when katrina took that turn (unfortunately for mississippi). but once that level broke, i thought, "uh oh..". i can only hope for the best for them all, and i wish them luck. unfortunately, i fear the body count will end up being rather high, but who can say at this point?

i saw that street interview with a guy harvey (harley?) jackson who lost his wife and house, where the reporter started to cry.. that was.. something else.

Re: 50

My condolences to the families that have lost beloved ones and not "only" material things :sad:

Regarding the help - I am sure that if the US administration requires support from any other country in form of special units or equipment this support will be gladly given as it will always be when asked for.

Anybody who wants to help on a personal level can do so by donating e.g., to the Red Cross.

Of course you will not see large donation rallyes as we have seen after e.g., the Tsunami - but to be fair - that is partly due to the fact that a lot of the material damage is covered by insurances and that the US is generally more capable of covering most needs by itself than countries like e.g., Thailand or Indonesia.

This should however not prevent individuals to try to help via NGOs as naturally not all individual hardships caused by the tornado will be covered by insurances or the administration.

Well, it looks like the storm has brought out the best of the "urban" element in the city.

That’s a good one. ~D

I saw on the news last night that my local disaster relief organization (red cross like) has already sent 3 truckloads of supplies south and are already planning more. A nice thing about the US is that we do have a lot of resources to draw from. And insurance helps too but it takes a long time, people are still waiting for claims to be resolved from last year’s hurricanes in Florida.

Re: 50

Right now someone is reporting 60 at least dead, including 35 in the Gulpost-Biloxi Miss. area. I know people in Biloxi, I hope they are okay, but it is impossible to find out right now.

The water keeps coming in. The winds have died down but there is a breach in the levee holding back Lake Pontchartrain, so the water keeps rising. The public health situation is probably going to get worse before it gets better as well, so it's probably a good idea that everyone except for rescue and utility/cleanup crews to get to higher ground.

The number of confirmed fatalities is 68, but that is going to go up. I haven't heard of any confirmed from New Orleans, but there are reports of bodies floating in the flood waters. Bad times...

As said, the flood waters are still rising and there's no safe drinking water left either- plus there's fear of disease with all of the standing water around.

Oh God! They stole burgers from McD's. You know that is probably the only way they'll get food for at least the next 72 hours? They need to eat, and McD's can put up. Stealing anything but food and survival supplies is wrong, but human rights trump property rights and people need to eat, drink, ect.

Wow, that's some thank you, considering we rebuilt the nation after THEY declared war on us back in the fourties...maybe we should have said "WWII Should be A Lesson To Germany on Global Domination" and left it at that.

They're stealing more than McD's, but I guess they need that new plasma screen TV for survival as well. I hope they picked up some malt liquer too, essential for their survival as well you know. :dizzy2:

Well those "gad damned capitalist" are the ones that supply jobs to these areas. No wonder businesses are leaving urban areas in mass to get away from subhuman criminals that only care about "wuts I can makes mines"...

I was commenting on the McD's stealing and the various jokes that followed. Stealing TVs, ect is wrong as I said.
