This "it's been three/four days" thing has really been bothering me, so I went back and looked it up.

Heck, I bet NO was still having high winds then.

And -- and check me on this -- I believe it was late Tuesday night when the levee first breached, am I wrong about that?

It was late Monday night. About midnight AZ time when the lady from the hospital told Rick Sanchez on CNN that the water was rising one inch every five minutes and they had called FEMA for an evacuation... she said is was because of a breech in the 17th street levee.

I think that's right. Shep was saying that there was no flooding yet in downtown, then I went to bed, got up in the morning and WHAM! NO was flooded.

I know we were here at FR discussing the breaks when it first happened....was that late Monday night or Tuesday night?

Things are a blur now.

Nope, Monday night, our exalted expert of crisis management. ;)
