Hell, the local media are using satellite shots, which makes me think they aren’t aware they exist, and given the attitude of officials about some areas, they could be taken down at any time.

Scrubbed really is the word for what happened.
Why aren’t THESE photos being shown on the Corporate Media?

I’m trying to come up with something to explain the danger, Hipparchia, and that is something I’ve dealt with, and most people should be familiar with.

I know, Badtux. A lot of people were probably washed into the bay with their houses, and some into the Gulf when the surge withdrew.

Supposedly 20% of the people did not evacuate. There was roughly 3900 people on the peninsula before the hurricane came through, meaning 780 or so stayed behind. They’ve thus far rescued about 200 people who survived. You do the math :-(.

that’s a comparison that probably ought to be used more widely — fire hose vs leaf blower.
