...they are expecting the levees to break..."
Heard that earlier, too. If they do, NO is history. so sad. Spent many wonderful evenings there listening to jazz at nite and attending Cajun cooking school during the day. Bought my favorite cooking pot there--a cast iron wok that will give one a hernia to get it down from the rack--but never mind--a Cajun meal from it will put one in bed for a week.
If that happens, I just don't know what to say or think. This thing is like the two 747's that collided on the runway in the Canary Islands. You can't come up with this in FICTION disaster movies.
