I'd guess their homes are in far worse shape than the SuperDome and these people may be thinking they should've left town when they had the chance. I heard a reporter saying last night that while the Dome was built to withstand winds up to around 160mph...it had never been tested for the conditions being introduced by Katrina. Let's hope & pray all those taking shelter in the SuperDome get through this.

Other sections of New Orleans probably weren't so lucky, but I haven't seen video from those spots yet -- but they're saying some homes were totally flooded out. Can't wait to hear from SB once power is restored... I hope she and her family are okay! Katrinia is now down to Category 1. I think Mississippi is getting hit hard... I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy?

I watched this all day on the internet and it does appear with the last minute turn it took that Mississippi got the worst of it. Mobile, Alabama looks pretty flooded as well. Did anyone see the video of a guy running to a car that got submerged in flood water to save the man inside. Seeing that kind of stuff just tugs at my heartstrings.

There are alot of areas where people were trapped and those sections suffered heavy flooding so no one has been able to get there to assess it yet. On the flip side of seeing good semaritans they show videos of people looting grocery stores. Uggh!!! Those people make me sick. I hope they get hit in the head by flying debris.

You know it's all about ratings, and each news station wants their person to be able to report on this first hand. But I thinks it's shear stupidity when you see these guys fighting to stand up, getting blown away, and watching stuff catapolt right in front of them. They they say, "I'm getting the heck out of here". I just want to say, "DUH"!!! How about a little less questions and a lot more shut the hell up - Brian Griffin When there's a will...put me in it.

Evidently she's in Houston, and I assume having a long wait as she told me that terminal "sucks". Said she wasn't sure when she'd be back in Cali. Glad to know you're safe SB.
