I know everyone is getting sick of threads about the hurricane, but I was just wondering, how is the hurricane being covered in the news in europe?

i don't want this to get out too far but i heard ninthward has sex with armada-Twix_182

It goes something like this...

"Hi welcome to the BBC news at noon. Earlier today a bad storm hit southern United States and left people without electricity. Flooding was also reported in many areas. Now to Joan with the local traffic report; How's it looking out there Joan?"

it's not like that at all.. it's like watching tsunami coverage except there's a superdome. all the families being interviewed are poor and black and the looters are going after DVD players and not food.

I didn't know people from new hampshire were such avid BBC watchers.

Actually there is huge coverage in London.
My friend said it's in the papers every morning and on BBC world news on tv constantly.
This thing is pretty crazy to them too.

This article on BBC News website gives quotes from world press. It's quite interesting:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4207542.stm

I feel so sorry for everyone who's lives have been destroyed by this disaster, and of course i can't even begin to imagine what it must be like but I think people outside of the US are pretty shocked to read that tourists have been targeted by mobs. British people helping medics in the New Orleans Superdome had to be moved to the Hyatt Hotel because of fears for their safety...

I think it's a shame that I had to read this in an article about the events:
"state officials have described the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as a national disgrace."

If you look on CNN they have a whole article about other countries donating money to the cause and offering other things such as food, generators etc. I know it said that britian, sri lanka, japan and australia had already donated money to the red cross

Well here in Canada, that's all we hear about, but also a lot about the gas pride. That's pretty much been it for the last 2-3 days.
