Read you five by five. Understood.

[Pyro7480]

We should say prayers for survivors and families in any case.

Amen.

[SE Mom]

Wow. I listened to the rest of it...I'm stunned.

She will remember this for the rest of her life.

Almight Mods have spoken.

They picked bodies out of trees and rubble for days.

It's horrific: Each of those bodies housed a being with a complete life.

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for the additional info.

Try channel 6, WDSU in NO. Got a ward #? 7,8&9 are definitely flooded.

[Howlin]

She is obviously traumatized; and where she was, that is not good news.

It might be this apartment complex, or the St. Charles Condominiums:

"Wow. I listened to the rest of it...I'm stunned. "

Me too.

Bastardi on Fox News now. We might have more storms coming!! Kyrie eleison! Peak of the hurricane season is still 2 weeks away...

[bwteim]

Amen. I didn't mean to sound preachy regarding judgment. I have been in some bad weather - and you do what seems right under the circumstances. Looking back I can say I was lucky. Heck, some of these people could have been elderly or young, at the 'mercy' of someone else deciding to the wrong thing, perhaps, in this case.

[sheikdetailfeather]

I was just watching Meserve. She was overwhelmed by all she witnessed.

[Howlin]

That footage CNN is showing was shot by people in NO, not CNN.

[Pyro7480]

There's nothing left practically.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Me, too. Came here to see if anyone else heard it.

[oceanview]

the helicopter shots?

[SE Mom]

It's mind-numbing isn't it?
