Ya know I've NEVER been to New Orleans before but with the little info I have on it I know UNTIL THE WATER IS PUMPED OUT THERE WILL BE NO ELECTRICY RESTORED.

Why do these folks on FOX keep worrying about it?

NO is not going to be functional until Engineers get the water out. They are not going to even start on getting the water out till they stop it from coming in. They are not going to make a serious effort to stop the water from coming in till they get ALL of the people to safety.

WHat is so damned hard to understand here? I keep hearing reporters (on all channels) blather on about time tables of getting back in to NO.

You have to wonder about the IQ of some of these reporters.

I don't think they comprehend the breadth of this. They have to get everyone out and figure out what to do about the dams. That will take ages and then they have to decide how and when to reconstruct them. Then they pump.

I dunno, it seems like too much to do. It just seems overwhelming.
