I have to agree. Anyone that could stay behind in what will be worse than the Love canal had better make their peace with the Lord. If the mosquito-borne diseases don't get you, some other malady will. It is only a matter of time.

All hype - NO is not any more filthy than it was.

Damn right. I hope they declare the whole thing an uninhabitable superfund site for the next five years. Honorable Mayor? That's a laugh. Mayor of what?

I doubt it's anywhere near as toxic as people are claiming. The water will be pumped out and that's about the end of waterborne problems. They've always had lots of mosquitos, nothing new there. Surviving without electricity and pressurized water is also fairly straight forward. There's close to one hundred gallons of water sitting in the basement of every house in America, it's called a water heater. 1 to 2 drops of bleach per quart makes it and a lot of storm runoff is perfectly safe to drink, just bleach it. Avoid dead bodies, remove as possible. There hasn't been law enforcement in NO for over a week, and no effective enforcement for years, all you needs a good firearm.
