And your larger point is...?

I'm not sure I have a larger point, I'm just frustrated that in this day and age with a storm we knew was coming, and a storm we knew had the potential to kill, that many did not heed to warning to get out. If many of the dead are those that were unable to get out, maybe due to health or some other like reason, why did no one help them get out of there? This wasn't a surprise storm that hit with only a 30 second warning. I think people died in vain. I'm not blaming them, it's just frustrating.

I am coming back in from the dark for the most part, but I just wanted to let you all know that Slidell, which is to the East of New Orleans has downtown under 15 feet of water. We have friends out there, who know their business, home, schools are all gone.

We were at the shelter with somebody from down south whose farm is assumed to be a total loss with alot of cattle, and horses wiped out, their neighborhood just gone.
