Mary should work for CNBC. DOW stuck at minus 30 points.

[Michael Goldsberry]

FOX reporting that some homes now have flooding to the ceiling.

[blastbaby]

A spokeswoman is on right now about that.


Talking about security lock-down being tight. Is that normal to be worrying about security - no one coming in or out?

The news reports are very confusing. Someone on the same NO feed just said things are getting better.

[JustaCowgirl]

Somebody who would use this occasion to play petty politics needs to be taken out and shot when this is all over.

[SE Mom]

Per FOX...some homes in NO have water up to their ceilings

[glock rocks]

I forgot all about XM 247. I'll turn it on and see what they have.

One can only imagine the condition of the cemetaries.

[NautiNurse]

What hospital?

[stlnative]

the 2 bluish areas in the picture are the 2 holes. (upper middle area of the picture)

[CWW]

N.O. ABC station reporting that 4 pumping stations have failed. 20 ft storm surge.

Also, windows blown out on first 5 floors of Charity Hospital.

[Hand em their arse]

Being reported that many parts of New Orleans being protected by dykes... I thought that they aske....... Oh forget it, that one is way too easy... : )

Superdome roof:

[Zechariah_8_13]

But keep in mind that the parts that are "failing" are essentially "sprayed on", and are not themselves structural in any way.

I understand that. If you check my posts you'll see I never claimed the structure had been compromised.

Even yesterday, Landrieu obviously had worries about the strength and landfall of this storm, so did she warn the people of her state? No, she took it as an opportunity to bash the Bush administration. No doubt that she was hoping for death and destruction as it would play better for her politics. She's despicable.

In fact, I don't recall hearing ANY Louisiana officials willing to step up to the plate and tell people to evacuate. It finally took the President to lean on the mayor and governor to do something. Even then, they still had a wishy-washy attitude.

Thanks for the screen capture of the interior of the Dome.
