I agree.

"It Will Turn" seems to have been their plan.

They are not exactly the most inspiring "leaders" I've ever seen.

FEMA in the rebroadcast said they are bringing in swiftwater assets, but are also working on setting up commands (ha!)to coordinate things.

Blanco said they are working on taking care of medical needs first before figuring out where to take the Superdome people to. The problem is that the rising dome is imperiling the Superdome generators.

Lower Plaquemine is rooftops, some 3+ story buildings visible.

A C-5 from Travis is bringing in some of the rescue assets that FEMA needs from CA.

To plug the breaches, they thought filling some sealand containers with dirt could be used.

They mentioned the 17th Street breach and the two industrial canal breaches in St. Bernard.

Slidell= NO East= St Bernard, same conditions.

The twin span collapsed in sections. Nothing in between some pylons.

The 5- mile bridge, the old bridge, still intact. But they don't know if it has integrity to take traffic.

Most camps are gone. Old Slidell, Mandeville, a lot of water.

The goal is to feed people in the shelters until they can be gotten out.

They refused to describe what else other than water is out there. They denied that it was "filling up like a bowl".
