My prayers for all Involved BUMP!
Bump to new thread.
"In a hypothetical situation projected by his computers, Dr. Suhayda continued, a slow-moving Category 4 hurricane, with winds up to 155 miles an hour, or a Category 5 hurricane with even stronger winds could leave water 30 feet deep on this neighborhood street, which is more than five feet below sea level.

thanks for new thread and all your hard work in keeping these threads going
Thanks. I now feel relieved of the duty to catch up on the 300 or so posts I missed on the other thread when I took a few minutes for some breakfast.
Per FOX, people with suitcases standing outside of the arena...waiting to be let in.
Gonna' be ONE HUNKA MESS.
Obscure Louisiana port linchpin for U.S. energy

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.
From the old thread.....
No, not Algiers. Near and East of the Industrial Canal towards Chalmette.....the other side of the river from Algiers.
Mercy Hospital is where I was born. Hotel Dieu? See? That is "uptown!" :-)
Ditto that on the prayers. My family has been praying and we prayed in church. God be with them!
Please add me to this ping list. Thanks
Prayed for all in the path of Katrina this morning at church. Stay safe everyone.
Katrina,my mamma said she's the Devil.
