As Lake New Orleans begins to refill you'll see the significance.

this could get interesting. A levee failure now would drive a stake through the heart of NOLA.

Hopefully they will get just enough rain to clean up the mess but not cause any more flooding or damage.

some 500 buses were standing by at the convention center, but few seemed to be taking advantage. Only 27 people had been evacuated by the end of Wednesday. Any unused buses will be pushed into Lake Pontchartrain for that authentic New Orleans bus look.

A mandatory evacuation order is in effect for the entire east bank of the Mississippi, and some 500 buses were standing by at the convention center, but few seemed to be taking advantage. Only 27 people had been evacuated by the end of Wednesday. OK, so lets' see what happens if the levee is breached again. I don't think anybody who stays behind and then gets in another jam is gonna get a whole lot of sympathy.

Heard at noon from my Son who is in one of the Police SWAT units from Minnesota that they have drawn back 3 hours North of NOLA.

It ought to
Rebuilding that city that EVERYONE knew was a disaster waiting to happen is insane . All predictions were that it couldn't take a CAT 4 or 5
Despite all the speeches etc about coming back maybe this will FORCE them to come to their $200 billion dollar senses and study just how much of NOLA is really needed

FOX news had an alert that Rita is veering north towards Louisiana.

It has been downgraded to a cat 4 but it's got plenty of time to go back to a 5.

Yes, it seems to be heading towards Houston as if it is tracking NO evacuees wherever they go.

At least this time lake Nagin will be full of cleaner water. Put some fish in it.

Well of course. President Bush and Karl Rove are steering it towards residents of New Orleans, no matter where they go. I saw a picture of them operating their hurricane machine!

What happened is that Rita paused for a moment to get a second wind. She will resume cat 5 momentarily.
