- Before the Storm is even form, the news track them down even weeks ahead. So there is plenty of time to prepare for it.
- If life and your family are important, you grab whatever you can and leave the area, you don't stay there to see how it happens.
- If people help each other instead of fighting each other or wait for the government to do something. Come on, DO SOMETHING!!
- And why the heck to steal electronics???? You are starving and the first thing that comes into your mind is to go in Radio Shack??
I know that not all people are like that. I know that there are good people struggling to survive and my prayers to them.

Slideshow (1 album)
Five Days with Katrina - Alvaro, 9/1/05

OK, actually that slideshow just showed me that this whole thing has been blown out of proportion.
Everyone watch this slideshow.
This guy wasn't too smart for staying but THIS IS WHAT I MEANT ABOUT BEING RESOURCEFUL
This is me at my apartment. Scott, Kat, Jeff, and Andy (all friends) had just been informed that the situation was getting progressively worse around the city. We made a plan to leave as soon as we could. Jeff broke into his boss's sports car and asked Scott to come along. They would leave as soon as morning broke. Scott couldn't leave his girlfriend behind (Kat) and her two dogs. So it was decided that they would all ride on a two seater. We got in touch with Special Relief Forces and as many police men as we could. We were told that early morning there would be buses coming from Houston to pick people up at the Convention Center. Andy and I decided to make sure we got on one of those buses.
I don't know her name, but she works for MSNBC. My apologies for my wordage, but this wench didn't know what the hell was going on. She made up 75% of what she was saying and exaggerated about 95% of everything that she did know. The message: do you want to be a reporter? All you need to do is have a pretty face and buy a Thesaurus!
I looked around under dim light for anything. I didn't know what I was looking for, but I had to do something. In the back of the wharehouse there was a small window. Behind the window was a small office. Inside the office, there was a small box that said "truck keys". I grabbed a metal pipe, and quitely, but succesfully smashed the window. There was only one key... to truck #25. The trucks that were there, were #6 and 25. I don't remember much after I turned on the ignition. We drove towards the Westbank where we had "heard" that there was a way out. It was true. However, we had no gas and the tank was on "E". Thirty miles outside of Baton Rouge, and 45 minutes after riding on "E", we found a gas station... they didn't take cash. A man paid for our gas with his credit card and for 5 others. The next stop... Houston, Texas. I don't want to say this was all Divine Intervention... but it's not too late to start believing... - Alvaro R. Morales Villa

Wow, alot of good points here, including Jake. Although everyone appears to be against you on this one pal.
I do have a question for you:

i feel sorry for the town that it got hit that hard as it does have a history. but, now it has something else to add to that. i know not everyone is like the people i describe. those are the people i feel sorry for as they are getting grouped in with the dumbasses who are those i describe."I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone …
but they've always worked for me,"

redbear: I agree 110% with you, during 9/11 and the blackout crime in NYC was nearly record low. Normal decent Americans don't go robbing their neighbors during a crisis.

The question we should all be asking ourselves is WAS THAT WOMAN CRYING BECAUSE SHE LOST HER HOUSE( ) OR BECAUSE BUSH IS SO BAD WITH A GUITAR????
Nice catch Georgie, I go fishing with my Dad too! Nothing like conservative family values lol
EDIT: sorry guys but I have to say this, why loot stores when you can fish!
