Tornado Magnets
It’s official. Three tornados touched down near here the other night and caused quite a bit of damage in the metro area. The one closest to us was less than 5 miles away! The storm that dropped them was so strong that it woke me up at about 2 AM when the power went off for about 7 hours. The lightning and the wind was some of the most intense I’ve seen and heard in a long time! I’ve had the near miss tornado experience several times before when I used to live in Atlanta. New Orleans rarely ever gets tornados, apparently we are lucky in that way, all we get are stupid hurricanes. I think we can now confirm the old myth that trailers are tornado magnets what with the thousands of FEMA trailers now dotting the New Orleans landscape! And of course I couldn’t resist doing one more Photoshopped trailer. hehe
I wonder what’s going to hit us next! Earthquake??? And hell, we’ve got the next hurricane season cranking up again in just a few short months, the next one will probably wash all these damn trailers out to sea! LOL
It’s sad to see that the feds and Bush have decided to pour many more billions of dollars into wartorn Iraq (damage that we did!) than rebuilding a devastated New Orleans. The magnitude of the damage to everything here is still very overwhelming and will take many years to recover. Wouldn’t it be funny if Louisiana seceded from the union and declared war on the US? That way the USA can invade the state and rebuild the hell out of it. Just think of all the money saved, it’s already totally destroyed, no money wasted on bombs, planes and tanks! Maybe the feds can be convinced that La. is secretly building weapons of mass destruction and has a clandestine nuclear program. LOL
Maybe they can be convinced that the superdome is really a gigantic nuclear reactor? Hmmm… it sorta looks like one! hehe
Have a great weekend!

The only problem is that theocrats would invade infiltrate and start an insurgency, then we would be torn between the Cajuns, Creols, Rednecks, and City folk.
It would be a mess, plus Mardi Gras season just would not be the same.
Will you be posting Mardi Gras Pics this year?
Hehehe Great bullseye!
Happy Friday to you.
Wonderful post, Seven. I think you may be onto something! Seceding to get “foreign” aid for the folks in “that part of the world” (as Bushie called it). Plus, with secession comes all the oil, gas and port revenues!
OMG Seven!! That is one of the funniest pictures I’ve seen you do!! I totally support Louisiana seceding from the Union in order to receive foreign aid. Then we can have “The Louisiana Purchase - Part Deux!”
ha! a trailer with a bulleye on it is TOO appropriate!!
That picture is way too funny! Still laughin’ at the secession idea…. that’d be perfect
Nice trailer… reminds me of my days in retail (at Target)…
Seriously, you REALLY don’t need any more weather phenomenons to strike where you live…
Laughing my ass off at the target on the trailer. Too true. Do NOT blow away on us se7en! We need you!
Yikes, Mother Nature needs to send her wrath elsewhere for a change, enough already on New Orleans!
LMAO @ “it’s already destroyed, no money wasted on bombs, planes and tanks!” Sad but true. Dubya, where are you??
Forgot to say loved the new blog designs! You do great work.
That’s it! I knew there was something smarmy about ya’ll!
If you sleep in your new FEMA trailer, please wear your lifejacket to bed in case you get swept out to sea.
I can’t agree more than your sentiment on Bush and his cronnies priorities! Damn!! :o(
I am pleased beyond measure that the big winds gave you a miss.
We were worried & going to call, but the news said the only homes hit were the ones that no one was living in. Love the new pic.
Let’s tell Pat Robertson that there are still some sinners alive & well in New Orleens, & that brand new homes will tax them right out of the area, & into another country. With any luck he will tell Bush, God said to hurry & rebuild.
I’m envisioning the Feds coming here and sniffing around a bit now LOL
I’m glad you are safe and weren’t hit by the tornadoes but I feel so bad for those that were. Enough already!
*HUGS*
That last paragraph was brilliant!
Excellent post, though Bush’s definition of rebuilding is a little loose, to say the least. Don’t forget to leak documents of oil hidden under the superdome. That is sure to get La. invaded.
I hope the weather is good to you soon, peace.
O-kay you did it this time, yes I laughed until I peed in my pants and it is all your fault—NOT just wanted to make damn certain you smiled for a minute.
You were in my thoughts when I heard how bad things had been out your way again so glad to know you are still ready to give’em heck.
That’s actualy not that bad of an idea! It sickens me that Katrina victims are still far from their fromer realities, while we’re wasting time in oher parts of the world. That’s like giving to charity and not paying your mortgage!
Those fat prioveleged white fuckers need a lesson in priorities!
Hey, that’s a pretty damn good idea you have there! I bet it would work!
…and you know trailers are tornado magnets. The force was just too strong. lol
Rachael, you go girl! Very well said.
Love the photoshopped trailers!
Too funny as always.
Wow, what a cool new look!
