Storm Warnings

Another of the dire prophecies of doom in advance of Hurricane Katrina's imminent landfall, which sounds all too much like the President's speech to the nation in "Deep Impact."

"So, imagine you're the poor person who decides not to evacuate: Your house will disintegrate around you. The best you'll be able to do is hang on to a light pole, and while you're hanging on, the fire ants from all the mounds -- of which there is two per yard on average -- will clamber up that same pole. And, eventually, the fire ants will win."

All I have to say is (if I'm interpreting this correctly), if you only have two fire ant mounds in your yard, you're not getting sympathy out of me. Now if he means two mounds per yard of dirt in NOLA....how can those people walk around safely on normal days?
