John Volkmann (L) and his wife Kathy of Pass Christian, Mississippi, run for shelter as a piece of sheetmetal flies through the air as Hurricane Katrina hits a hotel in Gulfport, Mississippi August 29, 2005.
a couple(tourists) i know had to hitchhike out of NO...
damn...the last place you want to be is outside during a hurricane. They are lucky they didn't get impaled.
Headline News just had a story about a couple taking a $950 cab ride from NOLA to Atlanta.
From WDSU..
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said it is receiving several 911 calls, but officers cannot respond to emergencies until the winds subside. Also, there are reports are several collapsed building, including one in Clearview where a woman may be trapped in her garage. -Flooding is significantly worse along the west bank of the Mississippi River rather than the east bank. There are reports of street flooding and minor home flooding in the west bank area, but things appear to be more serious along the east bank. There are reports of waist-deep water in the Metairie area. East of New Orleans, some people say they are taking refuge from the flooding in their attics. If you do that, remember to take the proper tools, such as an axe or hatchett, with you. --There are significant power outages in the New Orleans area. There is also a lot of structural damage to metal buildings and fences.
no man.
that piece of ing metal there could have split them in half.
Everyone was ordered to evacuate. Why didn't he? If he has a cell phone he is probably not too poor and downtrodden to have left. Now he is asking people to risk their life to save him. He will have to wait til it's is safe.
Damn, one of those vid feeds out of Mobile is showing a billboard (one of the 40 ft. tall ones) that was uprooted and blown into a building. Crazy.
everyone's reasons to stay are different whatever they are,, all i know if this was gonna happen where i'd be my ass would have left as soon as trouble seemed headed this way..my ass would have gone up the country. i don't care if i have to crawl anyway i can i'm out
no place, or job is worth my ass it
A pay-per-use cell phone is a little cheaper than a car. 100,000 people have no mode of transportation in New Orleans.
Amen.no place, or job is worth my ass it
jesus christ it sounds worse on XM 247

Oh, you can bet on it.
stupid lawsuits and the scamsters will be out to rob people and cheat those that are in dire need when its all over
its been downgraded to category 2 now.
There is actually a legal meaning to the term "acts of God". It can mitigate liability in the event of a natural disaster such as this one, so it depends on how the laws of LA are worded.
I think its so crazy that this storm seemed almost determined to hit NO, as if it were meant to hit NO
very scary
how much do you wanna bet this guy had a way of getting out?
Just because 100K didn't have personal transportation doesn't mean they couldn't get out. I could be wrong, but I believe the city had busses and shuttles going around picking these people up. I do sympathize with people who were truly stuck, but I doubt this guy was one of them.
every bus that went out were completely full
god, this guy for Fox News might get killed out there...christ
exactly...i wouldn't wait for the city or nothin..at first sign of trouble coming, i'm getting my ass, people if i have any or pets and am GONE!
walk or run the outta there!
