Is the state of emergency a way to get around posse comitatus and allow movement of troops in the US? *noticed someone else mentioned it allows deployment of military*

Tough one there. Few courts would say "no". But this is a weather board not a political one. I would prefer to leave it at there will be military hospitals set up in quick order. And for those in New Orleans that don't heed the warnings and attempt to party through the storm, like some did during Camille, the military will be more than ready to set up morgues.

>>Politics asisde, he's a lot better than that idiot we had when Andrew hit.

His dad? He always seemed like a nice guy too. But we weren't as sophisticated as we are today with the integration of FEMA, Homeland Security and stuff. Cut old daddy Bush some slack. ;)

Uh, no. That idiot was Lawton Chiles. Who took almost 3 days to call out the National Guard in full force because he was an idiot.
