Can you imagine facing your disgusted friends and relatives without being thoroughly embarrassed?

It is such a disservice to the people affected by these disasters. It's been going on for decades. |

It's not just weather, either. To those oldsters, here, remember the famous scene with the fake tears in Broadcast News? That movie had the industry pegged to a T.

We drove across Louisiana Monday afternoon. Power convoys heading west on 10 from Florida, heading east on 10 from Texas. Lots of trees and signs down along 12 from Slidell to Baton Rouge. Saw about a dozen per mile for 60 miles. Some small areas had every tree snapped about 20' above ground, looked like tornado damage. Crews were cutting fallen trees at the road line to clear the freeway. Surprisingly, only structure damage we saw was one overturned camper. |

Haha that was funny! So I guess he just had to drive down from Ohio to check for himself and still didn't believe it! |

A Louisiana man is presumed dead after he was attacked by an alligator in Hurricane Ida floodwaters
Quote:
An elderly Louisiana man is now missing and believed to be dead after authorities say he was attacked by an alligator in floodwaters caused by Hurricane Ida.
The 71-year-old man, who was not identified, was attacked by the gator at around noon on Monday outside his home in the city of Slidell, officials said.
The man was walking through floodwaters caused by the monster hurricane when the animal attacked, the victim's wife told the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
"She told deputies she was inside her residence when she heard a commotion and went outside to see a large alligator attacking her husband," the wife told authorities, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
