Seriously, this is potentially a major disaster for the US. My girlfriend lives in New Orleans and has evacuated to Dallas, with her cat Mo. :) However, lots of people don't have cars to get out and many don't have anywhere to stay even if they did.

Fingers crossed it isn't too severe I suppose. :(

looking at the piccies on CNN as we speak.. We've got the idiotic reporters who insist on standing out in the wind, and trying to explain how bad it is... Do they think people are stupid? We can't hear them, we can see its quite breezy, and yet all the news networks do it!

Anyway..Good luck to all who stayed!!

Edited to say...There is a pratt on CNN standing under a roof, explain how there is bits of tiles, and windows falling down. he is right under them... Am I the oly one that thinks these reporters have a screw loose?
Another knob... In 'Hurricane 1' their reporting vehicle. "We are beeing pelted by rocks, and bits off wood in our vehicle".. He then gets out of said vehicle, and starts his s;ightly leaning into the wind report!! Madness!

I have just noticed what an absolutely cracking photo that is. Even trying to set it up would be difficult, with or without the weather.

I love how they act like it's absolutely heroic to be out in it so they can show us themselves getting blown away. Good work, geniuses.

Heroic? Idiotic! They had the nerve to call others that were out 'lacking common sense'. Idiots! great entertainment value though!
