Governor Jindal declares State of Emergency: Oil could “enter coastal homes”, evacuation orders expected today

Jindal declares emergency preparing for storm, Shreveport Times, July 23, 2010:

Gov. Bobby Jindal on Thursday declared a state of emergency… [The storm] was spending a lot of time over water, instead of land which would break it up. “It’s wise to prepare for a Category 1 hurricane, just in case,” the governor said…

The biggest worry, state officials said, is that winds and high tides would drive the Deepwater Horizon oil far up into Louisiana’s marshes, which serve as nurseries for much of the nation’s seafood. If that happens, it could also enter coastal homes and camps. “There’s a potential for winds and waves to drive oil inland,” Jindal said. … He said BP wil be held accountable for any damages caused by oil intrusion.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Strain instructed cattlemen along the coast to secure their livestock to prevent any exposure to oil…

Parishes with low-lying areas that usually flood during storms are expected to issue evacuation orders today as the disturbance moves closer to the state.

Comment by Wake up America on July 27, 2010 at 9:07am: People...read your King James Bible.....what's happening now in the world is what the BIBLE talkes about in Revelations. ONLY GOD ( YAHUSHUA) can SAVE us ...come to CHRIST PEOPLE FOR SALVATION. This is satans world and 95% of the "BEINGS" in charge are from the blood line of satan. Our Gov has been over taken since the 1940's by the forces of evil and they have been planing to destroy mankind for 60 over 60 years.

THIS IS ALL APART OF A MASSIVE PLAIN FROM THE MURDERS UP IN THE "BIG HOUSE" (AS WE TRUTH SEEKERS KNOW IT) TO KILL MANKIND OFF AND TO PLACE PEOPLE IN JAILS. I ADVISE PEOPLE TO READ A BOOK CALLED "BEHOLD A PALE HORSE" BY THE LATE WILLAM COOPER FOR STARTS SO YOU CAN HAVE A CLUE TO "WHY" YOUR BEING KILLED OFF.

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 11:35pm: As far as the evacuation, it will be another Katrina! People will give up their guns and property! The fear of the Government is in them! You have to do what they are doing, if they got 50 people coming to get you, you have 75 waiting to defend you! They are doing it, in I think it's Iceland! When they come to take mortgage defaults, the town surround their home, and it is working! WE as Americans have to get the pride back in our Country, not just the few but the whole! We need the States themselves to say no to Washington, but they are not going to do that unless We The People stand up and tell the States to do it! Then the States will stop worrying about their money from Uncle Sam and see the people will back their respective States up! Another then that we get led to the Darkness that we have been warned about!

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 11:24pm: Everybody has to make a stand now, the longer we wait the more they prepare! Voting is not going to work, My saying is: Putting good blood in with the old blood, you end up with the same bad blood! Unless you take the high ups out of the picture, we will always be fighting this! They will win slowly, they train their kids to do the same thing they are doing! They have all the time they need, Americans will not stand up, at least the majority won't! It is too much trouble, So vote away and see, we have been doing it for decades and look where it got us! But when it is time to defend that line I will be there! Until then Prepare!

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 11:18pm: As far as me, I'm a US Marine, I am going to have fun when they try to take me! I know I won't make it to the camps, but either will some of them!

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 11:16pm: They will do it and not kill you, just make your trip bad on the way there! They don't want to kill you until they get you in the camp, they want to slow torture you, make you feel every bit, so you will know what you had in Freedom, and took right under your nose! Then if they think they have no further use for you then they will kill you! Funny thing is, the government thinks they will be on the side of the Elite, and they will until they are of no further use!

Comment by Percy on July 23, 2010 at 11:11pm: I don't know about you but if I have to live in a slave society, have them kill me off at 40 when I am not considered slave worthy/productive, (already older than that) then I might as well go down doing something about it that I should have tried to do earlier. So there ya are. Nothing to lose, you take a lot of them with ya. I'll be damned if they are going to palestinian me like they do in Gaza.

Comment by Billy1st III% on July 23, 2010 at 11:10pm: Yea, they already took all the money, all that is left is our land! Hence the Camps, they after they get done with that they will sit back and say, It took awhile, but we did it right under their nose! I won where's my dollar!
