This is unreal what he's talking about: people sticking their hands out through their roofs to be saved?

Yes, there is video on WDSU.com of people hacking out of their attics . . . rescuers chopping in with axes . . . boats and copters pulling them out . . . uncontrolled fires burning in water-surrounded buildings . . . all in N.O. . . it's been on ALL night, but Fox and other nets are too busy drinking on Bourbon Street to notice . . .

Yes. This is truly an ongoing drama. Prayers to the rescuers.

Also was fascinated by the story of the boatload of people dropped off on the railroad tracks, the only high ground in a sea of water, where they had to wait for hours for another boat to ferry them to safety. Might have been miserable, but they are alive.
