Great question. I just read that the US Fed Gov't has asked Carnival Cruise Lines to help, and I was sad to see that Carnival is considering it but doesn't seem optimistic in their response. I also read that Texans are to the rescue preparing the Astrodome and Reunion tower as places for the refugees to go. FEMA has allocated buses to get the people moved from New Orleans to Houston and/or Dallas.

On another note, am I the only one that is highly annoyed by the multitudes of reports that don't know it's pronounced "nawlins"?
