Marc Brown's Buzznet

Many readers are submitting photos of the wildfires burning around Los Angeles and Ventura Counties on the Ventura County Star photoblog. In Friday's print version of the paper, they will run several of the Buzznet photos along side the staff photos. Yet another example of the excellent photos that you find on Buzznet.  Be sure to check the VC Star's homepage to see the pictures and read more about the fires.

Buzznet has partnered with the Houston Chronicle to create a gallery of readers photos and stories of Hurricane Rita. (chron.buzznet.com)

We hope that everyone stays safe during the storm. Share your experiences by emailing or uploading your photos.

Hey Buzznet Party People.
Yes, we know about the hit-counters.

Steve rebuilt the system, so it runs much better on our servers.  The counters are back,  and we are slowly adding the old numbers to the new numbers.

You are still popular.

Soon you will be back to where you were before. We are going through the millions of posts and merging the old information with the new.

Wendymay has just spent the last week as a volunteer for the Biloxi Red Cross.  Wendy is truly an angel and has many stories from her work in Mississippi.  Look at her  amazing photos and journal entries from her visit.  God bless her.

Buzznet wants to show our appreciation to Wendy and the many other volunteers who donated their time and energy to the victims and survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Our hearts go out to them all.

BTW, many people from the Southern Mississippi area are sharing their stories of Katrina on the SunHerald/Buzznet page.

You may have seen the MSNBC clip where the reporter asked Cheney if "he gets that a lot." The "heckler" is now selling off his videotape of his run-in with the Vice President and other footage of storm ravaged Gulfport, MS on Ebay.   (video is no longer for sale, obviously Ebay yanked it...).  The story can be found here.

Video of the incident is here on iFilm.

Also, this is a nearly unbelievable and quite scary  story of escaping from New Orleans.

UPDATE:  Some good links below from AXA13 in the comments below, and of course on his buzznet page.
