You forgot how every zot is also laser etched into a granite ball and delivered to Tom Cruise at his command center.
Getting everyone out of the city as the Mayor has said it will be flooded by nine feet in the next 12-15 hours.
Goldie Hawn comes to mind.
I always picture them wearing jammies and sipping a cup of joe and eating cinnamon toast
anyone know more on this?
I am surprised it lasted that long now that this has happened.
Yes, the bluntness of it sounds so harsh.
Reality is there is no clean water anywhere, no facilities left to properly house the animal, let alone feed the animal. Help from another source like another aquirium or Sea World would be impossible to get there in time. Sad situation, but the choice was one out of compassion.

My understanding THERE ARE NO BUILDINGS LEFT STANDING IN PASS CHRISTIAN, Bay St. Louis is next to it. I lived in both places on my sailboat. What I heard from Bay St. Louis is from one
family. They built a house with the foundation above the high water mark of Camille. It flooded up to the roof. They had tied a small sailboat out in the yard and were able to make it to the boat. They rode the
rest of the storm out in the boat. Most people had gone up to the Stennis Space Center. Bay St. Louis is where the hurricane party was during Camille. The first place I had my boat was in a marina that was
about three miles or more inland. There was a building there that had survived Camille. It was up on stilts and the high water mark of Camille was still up on the ceiling on the first floor. This surge was higher
than Camille probably a good eight to ten feet. Pray for these poor people."
I have seen anecdotal reports from survivors which, if believed, indicating a surge exceeding 40'. Camille's surge at Port Christian was officially 24.7 feet. Your post indicates a minimum of 32.7 to 34.7', plus wave heigth.
Bump. Add me to the N. Texas ping, if you would (or know who has it).
I'm sure it was a mercy killing. The seal must have been too badly injured and no way to treat it.

Mmmm, cinnamon toast ... do you have a recipe for that :)
Correct. But the water has already been up to the superdome, which is at or slightly above sea level. So if it is going to max at 3' above sea level, as recently announced, then it isn't going to rise much further. At 3' above sea level it shouldn't rise above most rooftops.
Get out of the city? You mean downtown specifically, or anywhere in the whole of NO? Will there be 9 feet of water in downtown NO or in addition to all the water in the whole area?
As usual I'm lost...
Did the seal get shot or did a looter get shot or did both of them get shot?
Starting to remind me of "Lord of the Flies."
"This is dreadful. Does anyone have an any idea if water on both sides of the river at the levys could compromise them? That's the only thing that could be worse at this point."
Absolutely - they water proof the footing on one side only.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
And I feel fine.
(Actually, I don't)
