there was also reportedly a child inside her vehicle, who was removed by law enforcement officials and is reported ly, physically safe. the uniformed officers who were involved in this scary but short incident this afternoon, they have been declared essential enough as federal employees that they were still on the job today and able to respond to this very scary incident. one officer was injured. but if the shutdown goes on much longer, these guys are going to start skipping paychecks. the capitol police and the uniformed secret service officers who protect the capitol, they have been told by their supervisors to start making alternate plans for paying their bills, because they don t know and nobody can tell them on whether or not they re going to get their next paycheck. it all depends on whether or not this shutdown continues to drag on. meanwhile, in the state of louisiana, bobby jindal declared a state of emergency in light of this storm making landfall. it s expected to become a
them on whether or not they re going to get their next paycheck. it all depends on whether or not this shutdown continues to drag on. meanwhile, in the state of louisiana, bobby jindal declared a state of emergency in light of this storm making landfall. it s expected to become a hurricane by possibly tomorrow night, which is also the time that it is potentially going to paycheck landfall in the gulf coast. a hurricane watch is in effect from grand isle in louisiana to indian pass in the florida panhandle. a much larger area has a tropical storm watch already in effect. now, this, of course, is oil country. bp was the first major oil company to announce that it was evacuating the workers that it considers to be nonessential, who are on the offshore production platforms that are in the path of this storm. other oil companies are expected to follow bp s suit. nobody knows exactly what s going to happen with this storm, when and if it s going to become a hurricane, when and if it s going
