had it been any other city in Florida or North Carolina instead of New Orleans, LA. Do you think president bush still miss the convention?

Where did the 1.9 million evacuees go?

thank you for posting about lake charles and calcasieu parish. a southwest louisiana native now living in portland, oregon, i have been watching and listening, finding it rather frustrating that the media coverage isn’t extending west along the louisiana gulf coast. hurricane rita ravaged and, in some cases, destroyed southwestern parishes three years ago… unfortunately these areas were overshadowed by the devastation and despair left in the wake of katrina. it would be nice if the rest of the united states –and perhaps the world– could see and hear more about louisiana’s other peoples and their respective plight.

although the majority of my loved ones have evacuated, there are still those that decided to stay put (at least for now) and those whose jobs required them to stick it out sans friends & family. our hearts and heads are with these people as we hurry up and wait…

thank you for putting yourselves in harm’s way to bring us breaking news. it means so much. sending our love & support to you and yours from the pacific northwest, brandi henry and family

Here we go Again!!! lets just hope everything goes as smoothly as possible, and not turn out like the last storm that tore through. KATRINA! (It pains my fingers typing it)

The news coverage in louisiana is great but what about mississippi, alabama and texas,.. I don’t think they got adequate news coverage for those other area and cities during Katrina and I hope that those other areas get coverage and assistance during Hurricane Gustov

How did a prisoner who was chained and shackled get to a place where he could jump out? Sounds like jumping out at 45 mph would cause him to be injured too – I’m sure he didn’t get very far but did he get hurt? He either is terribly desperate or is the shortest pencil in the box.
