Just switched back over to FNC ... couldn't take any more of Chrissy.
Only half of the residents of Terrebone and LaFource parishes have left, according to a local reporter in Houma. The rest are in shelters, but are likely to go underwater. The death toll could be massive.
I paid 2.46/gal this morning after grocery shopping, and DH paid 2.49/gal at the corner gas station.
thanks interesting info, but it doesn't convince me it will stand , pray it doea.
IIRC, during the big Mississippi floods in the late 90's, severl entire blocks of one ND city burned to the ground..

Trying to put it out there that anything that happens isn't his fault - he was just following orders from higher ups.
Earlier today Landrieu was blowing this off as "we heard this so many times before" that I think it was a strategy like the time Congress evacuated and cheesy Lott was trying to make like he had balls.

Oh dear Lord. I have tears in my eyes.
On a side note, on our honeymoon, my husband and I did a road trip through the U.S. and stayed at a youth hostel in N.O. that used to be a Civil War hospital.
I've been to N.O. three times in my life and if the potential loss of life isn't nauseating enough, there's the rich culture and history of that gorgeous city that may be lost forever.
New Orleans NBC station signing off local coverage. They're relocating inland, and will be taking MSNBC coverage.
Houma is a ghost town;expecting 6 ft of water; only 50% of people left-very disappointing;squalls coming through;south Lafourche parish expecting to be flooded and uninhabitable;2200 people in Houma in shelter--not enough people have left; conditions rapidly deteriating; unbelievable storm surges expected; very few structures wil be able to withstand this.
