Shouldn't have switched disasters on...


In all seriousness I hope everyone in the New Orleans area makes it through ok...

I just got done watching TV
flipping channels and watching the American media shitting its collective trousers over this impending storm.

Nobody is coming out and saying it, but it looks like this could be the biggest disaster to hit the U.S. since 9/11/01. Not only because it could destroy New Orleans, but because most of America's oil refining capacity is in the Southern Louisiana area. If Katrina causes all the damage it is capable of, the whole country is gonna feel it.

Internet TV
I was hooked on WDSU - the New Orleans NBC affiliate that was streaming over the net - but a minute or so after they handed over to Jacksonville (so they could evac) and the stream went black... still streaming but no channel to be seen :-(

Nothing scares off a Category 5 Hurricane with winds gusting up to 200mph like a man with shotgun and the will to use it...

I'm watching the ABC internet stream and every advert was for giant SUVs (Escalades, Lincoln Aviators...).

Then I read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Storm

Hmm...

It was by far the best version imho - I was very put out when they did a crap version of Sim City 2000 for the the GBA when they could have put the snes version on there instead...
