Good news to hear you're OK. I remember your last posts from before.
What do you need? Edit: and is there any way to get you what you need? |

Thanks for asking but I'm financially able to do ok for now. There are others that need more than I. I do have a kind of funny story. When I first got out I arrived in Lafayette, LA. I went to the Wal-Mart, not a single gun was left. Now, I don't know about this specific wal-mart but all the ones I have ever been to have a few shotguns, a few rifles, some .22s, and air rifles. Even the .22s and air rifles were sold out! I wonder if the people who bought them figured that anyone they were forced to draw down on wouldn't know the difference. Yes, I know you can kill someone with a .22 but still, the thought was kind of funny. Anyways, I have to return this laptop now, I'll update yall when I can. Thanks for the show of support. |

Thank goodness you are ok. As for your question about Esplanade, it looks like it's under 3 feet of water or so - you can see the tops of some cars poking out:

We were all confident that one of our ARFCOMmers would be able to do what needed to be done to survive.
It's good to hear a positive story about that hellhole. Be Well! |

Glad ya made it out safe, man. Now STAY that way! |

Glad you're okay. Bubba!, what the hell were you doing in N.O. when a Cat 5 hurricane is coming down the pipe? You got to know better. Tell us the story please. If I heard right, I think they said Esplanade Mall had water in it. Is it North Oaks Mall(?), it was on fire Friday or Saturday. On a news story last night, they showed and narrated gun sales at Jim's Firearms (the most expensive place to buy a gun at in BR!). Said they usually sell an average of 15 guns a day. Since the evac of NO, sales are averaging 1000 per day!!! I don't think it was mis-spoken. |

Glad to hear that you made it through unscathed (relatively speaking). Please provide a link in this thread when you post your observations later. I'm very interested in hearing about what happened from your viewpoint as opposed to what we have been seeing on the tube. |
|
Glad you're OK, buddy. Looking forward to the stories once you've gotten yourself settled somewhere!
|
|
Glad you are OK.
Pissed that someone broke into your house. Did they take anything or just trash the place. |
|
Again, glad you're okay. I'm really interested in hearing your views related to local, state and federal response.
Oh yeah,....and looters should be shot on sight. |
|
Glad you're OK - my relatives in Kenner and Metarie found minor damage and no flooding, so they came out OK.
That HMMWV appears to be C-3/141 IN from Weslaco TX. It's hard to be sure. The bumper numbers are kind of blurry. |

[looters] Cameras that need film?!? Cassette tapes?!? Man, this guys house sucks! [/looters]

Pray for more dry weather.
Hope you can get everything cleaned up before winter sets in.. |
