1. let's give our brethren a break, unless you know NO topography it

was easy to think "much ado about nothing"

I knew, but it took most of Sunday afternoon to educate my hubby of the reality of the situation

2. I'm just venting

Some of the posts even on this forum were just so ignorant. All of a sudden everyone was an expert and most of them have never been in a major hurricane. I felt like I was stand in the middle of the road with a Mack truck barreling down and no one would pay attention.

"Louisiana? oh yeah! there was a hurricane or something right?"

5. The headline on my local mullet wrapper this morning

says:

COAST DEVASTATED
New Orleans escapes catastrophic flood


I'm saving that one for the record books. It's almost as good as DEWEY WINS.

:wtf:

What a pack of morons run your local paper. I agree the headline is worth saving.
