1. Shit.

Let's try and be a *tad* more incompetent, shall we? :eyes:

[neurochaos]

6. whats up deadparrot,.

[SoFlaJet]

2. why are both sides

of the road NOT going north?I mean Randi said it and so did my wife-takes a woman to think of something so simple and correct I guess- I feex

[BiggJawn]

4. Don't you mean why AREN'T they going North?

Doesn't make sense. Oh...FEMA proabaly saw the signs that say "Wrong Way" and decreed that they couldn't be disobeyed....

[malaise]

3. It's madness

total and complete madness. Looks like the exodus. People will soon start snapping as gas runs out.

[populistdriven]

5. a couple photos of dead people woke up the public from their neocoma

7. Chaos reigns in bushland. Probably one or two people in each big ass

SUV. Every man for himself!

8. junior is going to go tomorrow and direct traffic

with his sleeves rolled up.

9. Brian Williams just said 100 miles

Asphalt Superdome, indeed

[Betty]

10. being caught out on the highway in a cat. 4/5 hurricane,

one's chances of survival are surely much less than being in the Superdome.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. So I will ask the question nobody wants to ask... how many

people will die?

These incompetent fools are turning my stomach

[joanne]

13. I heard 100 miles on CBS

I suspect I have family members in that traffic jam. Hard to not worry about them and everyone else trapped in this. :cry:

[Iris]

12. Does anyone have a link to this story?

I've been in a cubbyhole all day and have no idea what is going on.

[joanne]

14. Here is the link for one of the Houston TV stations

16. here's a link to a story about a homeless guy waiting for a bus

to come take him out of Houston.

This is horrifying.

15. oh holy fuck. does tha mean when Rita hits

Incompetence knows no state lines!
