Nick from Netherlands: Thank you so much for kind, humane words at a time of difficulty. I wish the world was full of people like you. Hope you have a great day, and by the way, your English is GREAT. Wishing you the best.

Ok guys i was just skimming down the page looking at the horrifying images further up the page, when i stumbled upon the comments section.
I understand theres a lot of political stuff going on right now. But seriously you all need to focus on the disaster at hand, politics cannot withstand mother nature and this really isant the time or the site to discuss that. So while you guys all think about whos doing what within the government spare a thought for the thousands/millions that are and will suffer because of this, because reguardless of whos in power at what time, there are and will still be people that will lose there homes and there memories things that cant be replaced even by the government. So i think its time that all countries unite in the event of this disaster as compassion and humanity towards one another is something we all have in common. Even the government!

Daniel, I'll have you know that the majority of Americans, living peacefully and happily in their communities, DO help their fellow Americans out in times of need. You've bought into the bitter left's depiction (perhaps from personal experience) of America as angry and mean. This is simply not the case for most of America. We have ALWAYS come through for our neighbors AND for our international friends. To suggest otherwise is folly and not supported by the facts.

For all you weather enthusiast that want to continue discussing hurricane Gustav, you are in luck. I created a forum just for that. Here it is:

Discuss Hurricane Gustav 2008 - TwisterVideos Forum

"Our host has gone to extraordinary lengths to create one of the web's best storm-tracking websites."

Thanks for the compliment Copper! We are trying to continually provide the most up-to-date information as this is a truly powerful storm. I hope residents of the southern Gulf Coast are taking this seriously. It is better to be safe than sorry.

What does it matter if a convention gets disrupted! Hurricane Gustav won't discriminate against the democrats or republicans. It'll flaten all of you, so ALL of you need to pull together to help all that's effected.

So the mayor of new orleans and gov. of LA were democrats. Fema is responsible for disaster relief and run by an appointee of Bush. a large contributer to his campaign. Oh and don't forget, the national guard was largely in Iraq. The fresh new VP candidate for the rep. has all of 2 years experience as a gov. I will admit she probably would have done a better job than the Bush team at a hurricane relief effort. Oh did you here that McCain and she are just now meeting for the second time. Hell, McDonald's personally interviews their potential employees twice. Any how, we wish for the safety of all the people in the path of this hurricane. Take shelter, take care of each other.

Still blaming Republicans for Katrina when the Mayor, Governor and City officials were Democrats. Can't understand logic here.

As if the Republicans care about it to cancel their convention...... Only if the convention was happening in New Orleans!!!!!

Contrary to this storm disrupting the Republican convention; it may serve as an asset to the Republican pro-temp nominees to turn the convention into a center for storm relief, reversing the blunders after Hurricane Katrina..... MK
