GUEST,Larry K BS: more hurricane warnings (105* d) RE: BS: more hurricane warnings 31 Aug 05


I remember last year when a category 5 hurricane nearly missed New Orleans when it turned east.    Everyone in New Orleans was relieved.   Clearly, they didn't get it on how close they were to dissaster.

I remember the cable channels and weather experts telling us about the catastrophe of a category 5 hurricane hitting New Orleans.   According to military experts and national dissaster experts- San Francisco was the most vunerable city to natural dissasters and New Orleans was second.    After all this warning last year, it doesn't seem like much was done to protect the city.

The most accurate report was the expert on Bill Oreilly Monday night.   When everyone else was saying it wasn't as bad as it could of been, this expert was saying the opposite- how Lake Ponchetrain was overflowing and that it would begin to flood New Orleans and become a mess.   He turned out to be absolutely right.

About looters- I tend to agree with the approach by Rueben Greenstein- the recently retired African American orthodox jewish police chief of Charleston SC who said to shoot the looters.   I am apalled but not surprised by the looting.    There were looters in 9/11 as well.   The priority should be to save lives.    The way you get more resources to save lives is too eliminate the looting.   IMHO- you eliminate the looting once you get the message out that looters will be shot.   As Reuben said after there natural dissaster in Charleston- "Right now we don't have time to arrest them and book them"   Way to go Rueben.
