You're right and it breaks my heart to think of what they have to go through. My daughter lives in the pathway that Andrew ripped into and my s-i-l remembers the storm passing--He went for a bike ride one block away--and got lost with all structures blown apart and nothing to recognize.
This is incredibly sad.
It gets worst, Hurricane Katrina is now only five miles from being a CAT 5 hurricane.
New Orleans may become a modern day sicken city, like Atlantis (please, no Stargate jokes), before this is over.
