>The key is to surviving any category of hurricane is to stay close to a CNNreporter. While people die and are stranded in flooded areas, for some reason they are immune, somehow manage to find a building that isn't flattened and can come and go as they please. What's up with that?

Yeah, I've noticed that with the BBC reporters too. They've been all over Loisiana - well fed and dry shod, and don't get shot at by the police or national guard.
