Katrina
Katrina
This is really amazing.
I'm on the east coast, Delaware.
Very far from any point on Katrina's trajectory.
Still, it's too muggy to jog.
I can't recall it ever being this muggy.

I am definitely not complaining!

Anybody in touch with Squidgy?

Greg.. I forgot totally that you are in Delaware! How far from the DC area are you?
Yeah.. today is the muggiest day I've ever experienced in my entire life -here in Arlington, or anywhere else for that matter. Not that hot, only 88 F... but it feels like a hundred, and not a leaf stirring anywhere. It's been a wretched summer, weatherwise.
But right... like you, I'm not complaining either.

I've been watching it on the news, feeling like a voyeur of other people's tragedy and misery.
I've been thinking how I would feel if it was my home I had to leave and then came back to devastation; if it was my loved ones killed; if it was my home city torn apart...
My compassion goes out to those poor people.

Only just found this video of LC:

well, that depends.
about 2.5 hrs (if Marc is out of the picture.)
otherwise, may as well be the moon :)

I am very very worried about Squidgy.
There is no doubt whatever that she is in great trouble.
And, really, all that can prayed for, is that she is alive,
and out of there.
What a diaphanous illusion is "civilization".

I saw that see walls did not make it in New Orleans: consequently the disaster is worst than expected when they knew Katrina was of force 3 instead of 5. Also, what and idea to leave in an area under the sea level, I hope they will not go back there after this. How sad.
Katrina - the rest of it - is passing here right now, it is not pretty, I can tell you. It gives an idea of what it could be there, these last days.
What a diaphanous illusion that civilization can go without taking environment into account you mean? How true, who is to blame? Nobody for sure, but when we will fully counscious about the fact, less sorrow will be experimented about this. Hurry up to this day.
Don't step to conclusion for friends over there, no electricity, no nothing, they may be all right but unable to communicate like if everything was normal.
I hope. In any case.

Um, perhaps you would feel like an Iraqi from FalujaI've been watching it on the news, feeling like a voyeur of other people's tragedy and misery.

What the hell is happening in New Orleans I can't believe that the richest country in the world is leaving these poor people to fend as best they can it is devastation out there. New Orleans is nearly wiped off the map and Missisippi is trashed. The area covered is the size of Britain thousands and thousands of people killed, injured and homeless.
