YES! I'll never forget, the snakes and all the water deaths in St. Bernard parish.
I have to agree with others here that the Mayor of NO didn't do enough to get people to get OUT early enough. This is so hard to watch, gulp!
OMG!
They'll go back. It will be rebuilt. That's the amazing thing, whoever is left STILL won't want to live anywhere else and they'll go back. Just like Bangledesh. People always go back.

Yeah. I hope if they do that they at least rebuild up on the debris of the "Old Orleans". That way the "New New Orleans" would be on a tel above sea level.
I'm going for money tomorrow - along with a company match for it - and also donating linens and water.

It's weird to see common sense working in animals, yet, humans have to be ORDERED to evacuate? Perhaps some kind of Common Sense 101 needs to taught all over this country.
Anyone else annoyed by President Bush blathering on about Iraq after his comments about New Orleans? We have an impending catastrophe here in the U.S. - it seemed to me to be a very inoppurtune time for GWB to start spouting his general "support Iraq" stump speech.
Anyway, prayers for everyone in danger down there. Been listening to Fox News all day, and things are getting more and more frightening.
I feel bad for the people who will be caught on the Lake Pontchatrain bridge during the storm. Could you imagine being miles out in a lake stuck in traffic why waves crash over you and you are hit with 175+ mph winds? Horrible.
what did it say?
What did they say?
Yes, they will form rafts. It's unbelievable.
This is something we have been discussing in our home this morning. I fear mass casualties in the Superdome. If the structural integrity holds, they will be an island for days or even weeks.
Sheesh! By 7 AM tomorrow phone service will be non-existent.
whatever happens they are talk about 25% of oil supplies in trouble--beside people and property
And fireants...
Wind gust of 225 mph is projected.
No. That's part of the problem. The ones in the city, I know, will NOT work once submerged. The Jefferson Parish ones are in the same boat, per the presser that just ended with the Parish president.

It was assinine.
That really gave me the creeps.
