Hurricane Katrina

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Dunno. I think the weather agency or whatever is in charge of monitoring them do. It's alphabetical, too, I think. So the next one will be Hurricane L....

It used to be all female names but then in the cause of equality, male names were introduced. (alphabetically)

For those with Satellite tv, they are covering the event on Fox News, it's all quite tense!

There's some amazing footage of the storm's damage in the link at the top of the page. An entire casino was picked up and dropped on top of a hotel.

Apparently the next one is going to be called Lee. Bit ordinary isn't it?

Yay! I'm going to have a hurricane named after me.

I travelled along this coast last year. Cannot believe the destruction. It'll be f***ed for years.

When I first came to the US around 24 years ago, Biloxi was the most beautiful placid place with green waters and quiet beaches of white sand.
They built a bloody Vegas#2 on the beaches and f%&ked it up completely.
I hope all the casinos got wiped. F$ck 'em.

New Orleans mayor says Katrina killed hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of people in city, Associated Press reports.

Now read the captions for both pictures and note the difference in the description of how the white couple obtained their goods and how the black boy did...

I got called a heartless bastard for some of my comments on another board.

The white couple found the groceries after they shot the black boy

Just read that Fats Domino, the R&B star, is amongst those currently missing

Even better is that Yahoo now give you a link to the "image labelling bias" - but do not change the words, and do not really apologise for it. The white couple still "found" the stuff, the black boy "looted" it. Incredible.....maybe the white couple left an IOU, or they have an account at the store.....?!
