Sometime around 1AM Pacific, I believe, there was some discussion, possibly on a live thread, of a CNN interview with a nurse who said that the levee had broken, and the water level was rising against the hospital.

According to the thread, the CNN anchor just kept having her repeat what she was saying, and didn't realize the importance of what she was reporting - that the levee had broken.

It is too bad the FR search facilities aren't more functional. We really miss out on the huge resource we have stored up on the servers.

Check around here in the live threads ...

Google works pretty good as an outside search facility. Include freerepublic as one of the search terms.

For the collections I built here, I searched each thread for the partial word "leve" and picked out posts that reflected the general tone at that point in time. There is no getting around it, building informative time lines and summaries (with cites) is grunt work. It just takes lots of time.
