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.

Check around here in the live threads ...

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.

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.

Yahoo seems to do a much better job at keeping track of FreeRepublic. Google used to be pretty good, but a few months back their hit rate on FR dropped a lot.
