A tornado spawned by Rita has resulted in a fatality




Yes, I must admit I became rather annoyed while watching Lou Dobbs this afternoon as he kept insisting that NO DEATHS had been reported so far as a result of this storm. Not only was he forgetting about those poor people on the bus, but it seems to me fairly certain that when all affected communities have been accounted for, there will be others. Declaring the death count "zero" is not only wrong, even ignoring the bus incident it is way premature.
