OMG News reporters are geniuses

I suppose now we know why they are called "faces" calling them heads would invoke the theory that there was a brain in there.

I decided that since this was such a big and devastating storm that I am not going to downgrade the title of the thread like I do with the others. This storm has left a mark which will be with us for a while and will go down in history as one of the worst.

The thread title will stay at HURRICANE KATRINA.

Since we have 3 threads, news, photos, and discussion, and some of the comments are scattered among all 3, why don't we call this Hurricane Katrina "Discussion?" The other is already called Hurrican Katrina Photos and the news thread title changes as the stories change (so it can't be called Hurricane Katrina News). So it's hard to tell what this is except for those of us posting here.

Well, we just finished watching Alexander, and uber long and not-so-great movie, and I went and stood out in the street for a few minutes. There was a nice breeze that died down, then came back up. Nothing bad at all. But I guess its still supposed to get worse. We must just be barely missing all those bands of storms. The latest weather thing showed one coming this way, but theres nothing outside yet...

Idk if I will get back to yall any more tonight, as I have to sleep downstairs without my computer, and its getting late. However, if the wind picks up, I am sure that I will be up early with an adrenaline/nervousness rush to get some pics or bail water or something :-/

Any more news from you ar1stotle, we pray for your familys safety.
