  1. Probably.  Last report I heard, Gulfport was getting hammerred.  "Complete devastation" was the phrase that was used to describe it.  And of course, they wouldn't exaggerate at all...  :D

     

    Still, Gulfport was in a bad position after the storm shifted east.  "Complete devastation" it probably isn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if the city was substantially wrecked.  Apparently the coastal casinos suffererd badly early...

    10 feet of flood water downtown. Check out Jim Cantores situation. Gulfport got pummelled. Camille and Katrina- that poor town ;)

  2. Sadly, I think that the media focus on N.O. may have caused many people in Miss. to not take the precautions they should have.

    I have driven thru rural Mississippi and Alabama and they are so impoverished. Very sad. Run down trailer homes which are not meant to withstand storms. May Katrina be merciful to those she has yet to visit

  3. I wonder if the peoples of the world will send all kinds of money, aid supplies, and other such help to the U.S. I guess when you're the "world's lone superpower" everyone else is quick to feed at the trough of our kindness, but when the tables are turned....

    sad but true. I would love to see some the USAs benevolence rewarded but am not holding my breath

  4. This is what I like to read-

     

    "The neighborhood is now running on portable generators, so we have cold beer. "

    As much as I am happy they have cold beer I am even happier about reading this-

     

    Reportedly, the key to preventing a Lake Pontchartrain flood is for the water levels to remain below 8.0 feet. (I am not certain of this, but it's what I've been told.) As of 10:19, the level was 6.75 feet at Midlake. However, according to the storm surge gauge at Bayou LaBranche, which is attached to the lake, the water level appears to have plateaued.

     

    Lake Pontchartain is now at 4.65 feet and declining in depth

  5. Uh, WHEN did McNabb "puke/choke?"  When he led their last TD drive to bring the game within 3 points?  Or when they got the ball back after an ill-advised and failed on-sides kick, and he had 46 seconds left in the game?

    Several times in his career and specifically in the final drive in last years Superbowl.

    Yeah Mitchell is a loudmouth but TO bashes Donovan the whole summer. Is Donovan friends with any of his WRs? Is he friends with his lineman that leaked he was hyperventilating/puking? I recall distinctly that several linemen corroborated Mitchells claims the days after the Superbowl then Reid did some serious damage control. Ray Lewis has his rings(college and pro). What has Donovan ever won? The dude cant lead and is the most overrated QB this side of Scarecrow

  6. I think he's on the decline now.  In his prime I'd agree with you, but I'd still rather have McNabb.

    Lewis is the greatest coach there is- on and off the field. Mcnabb hyperventilates/pukes when the Superbowl is on the line- just ask Freddie Mitchell who had to call the plays
