2. ...

About 40 percent of the city's 58,000 residents ignored calls to evacuate. And now they're phoning for help and getting this response, "We can't help you." I fear it's going to get quite grim. City Manager Steve LeBlanc went so far as to ask the media not to photograph "certain things" in the aftermath, referring to the possibility of dead bodies.

7. One question

How did someone even stand still, keep a hold of the camera, let alone keep it still enough to take those pictures with wind and water raging that strong?
How?

8. The wind isn't as strong as it appears in the photos.

Kids are just acting silly and posting it on sites.

12. Rick Sanchez...You Get Down Off That Thing This Instant!!!!

A nice pic...probably staged, but one that's sure to get on front pages.

This pic was taken during the daylight hours when the winds were nowhere near the 80mph that hit about midnight.
