The Daily Beast’s Mark Allen asked New Orleanians for advice. This is great:

That last lady cracked me up… what in the world did she say?

It seems the winds are coming all the way to Lake Michigan. Must be God’s way of reminding Cosimano not to be so smug.
My sister’s family in the Bronx is OK, no flooding, the tree didn’t fall on the house, but power is out, likely for a week, and streets are impassable.

My advice? Make sure you’ve got a Democrat in the White House; a president who doesn’t turn FEMA over to some guy who used to judge horses for a living, or who doesn’t plan to abolish it outright.

Now Siarlys, a little wind never bothered us. After all, look at all the elections we survive.

Touche, Cosimano. Fortunately, I don’t have a broadcast TV connection. I sample the whirlwind occasionally when visiting a friend’s house. I’m starting to joke that if I see one more Obama commercial I might vote Republican. I presume Mittens’s commercials have a reverse impact.

I picked up New Orleans accents on maybe two of those people. From the background, it looks like every interview happened with 10 yards of Jackson Square, which is tourist-central, though they did venture out to the river (a full 50 yards away) to interview the tweaker.
Still, the comments about the fridge, the grill, Jesus and [bleep] were right on the money.
What is the accent of the woman who talks about eating beans for seven days? It sounds almost English. Is it a Southern American accent?
