Lot's of rain from Katrina is draining to the ocean via the Miss. R.
All I know is that I am underwhelmed by the federal response.
According to WWL which I have minimized the authorities cannot see the beginning or end of the Mississippi River as it is all one and the levee has been breeched with holes in the levee.
New Orleans is sinking man, and I don't wanna swim.

they had several reports of cops looting earlier today, some loading up carts of merchandise and taking it to their cars in full view of reporters...
they were quite popular with the looters...
but MSM is trying to be very selective in reporting
I'm in Milwaukee. Everyone is out of the higher grades, and are on their last tanks of regular.
The Doomsday Senario would have left all the houses flattened.
Gov. Blanco sounds like a pathetic whiner.... granted, the situation is horrible, but there are leaders capable of rising to such occasions.... and apparently she is not one of them.
That's correct. No direct implication for New Orleans just yet. Plaqueminnes is where the mouth of the river comes out. They got the direct hit down there.
President Bush has spoken.
He is in DC and soon to be in the disaster area.
The military IS already helping and on the way.
Hope that helps.
Though the looting does lend to an overall chaotic sense of lawlessness. If they're free to loot, they're free to do anything they want.
No - they had no idea. They'd never run out before.
actually, if we hadn't disqualified Bernard Kerik for not paying nanny taxes, and sleeping with judith regan, we'd have him in there instead of Chertoff. somebody who is tough, street and urban saavy.
OK but the Mayor's Office said NO will be under nine feet of water in the next 12-15 hours -- where is that water coming from?
The 12+ minute video of the 17 mile aerial tour by helicopter of the Miss. coast shown on MSNBC was absolutely jaw dopping.
No way. The hurricane is barely over let alone the drainage from up river. Couldn't be. I saw that river two nites ago flying in and it was low! Very low. It would take weeks to get the level up.
Same thought crossed my mind.
