More press conference fun.
Senator Vitter: New Orleans will "absolutely" be rebuilt.
Nothing against the many, many people who have lost everything in NOLA, but a certain scene from Holy Grail keeps coming to mind.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But they weren't walking. They were running. And there was a door to stop the weather once they reached it.
And then, and then, they slammed the door in its face!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Frost is totally weather!
But it's a whole different weather vibe than a hurricane. It's a different temperature and everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's still got water in it. I don't see how they can possibly be different.

I think what we need is a movie where people run from a hurricane. It's the only way to solve this.

You can't make a good snowfort in a hurricane.

There is a bodysurfing tradeoff.

What is even happening?
Frost is much colder. It's much slower. It's lower down. Do we need to send you back to Michigan for a refresher course on frost, ita?
Partly for selfish reasons because I will never get a chance to visit NO as it was
Like you Maria, I'm mostly just horrified and heartbroken because of the tragedy, but I have to admit, there's a small bit of "I'll never get to see it" in there, too. A lot of people I've talked with though, those who've been there, and those who haven't, feel the same.

The closest I've come to bodysurfing is a bellyflop. Burrowing is much easier.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Still, it's bad enough that it is archived on the interbunny. I don't need my failed attempts at race sluttage shown on basic cable.
ftr, I don't need any potentially successful ones shown either. I'm demure that way.
Ah, so THAT'S the way you are demure.
Watching the news. I don't think people 'stealing' groceries should be called looters.
