Katrina - Live and Up Close

I've been trying to pull together a list of bloggers that are watching/involved in the horror that is getting ready to hit NO.

So far:

Bou - watching and wise
Florida Cracker - knows her stuff
Kathy K - with a great list of bloggers
Irish Trojan - a MUST READ!
Overtaken-by-Events - you NEED to check this site out and say a prayer for his mother-in-law
Doc in the Box - has a great list
Mostly Cajun

ALl of these have links with more information - and I'll continue to update as I find more information.

Like everyone else - I'm just sick about this. And I'm angry. I'm angry with the PUBLIC officials that sat with their collective thumbs up their asses instead of being a step ahead of the game. Cat. 5. Still showing 165 mph winds at moving at 13 mph. And you can say what you want about the Super Dome (and I hope to God I'm wrong) but that building is 25 years old. It has never seen 165mph winds. I'm afraid it will peel open like a tin can. I just heard a woman interviewed that said no matter what - she chooses to die with her family.

Oh. My. God.

What a horrible choice to have to make.

And Pensicola is still gonna get more than it's fair share in this. They will see dangerous winds. They will see even MORE rain.

It just keeps getting worse.

I''ll continue to update the list as I get more blogs.

This is scary, scary movies don't scare me. It's fiction and only involves a horrible story with a family or two. This involves millions of people, it's the end of some of their worlds and they're watching it come in on the weather channel.

Cataclysmic. Do you realize... more people could die in this than Americans that died in Vietnam? More people could die in this than Boudicca slayed during her fight with the Romans.

I pray none of that happens. But it ain't lookin' good.
