Don't know about the phone lines, but am getting emails still. Two more just came in, haven't read yet.
Live shots of Lake Charles LA now on wdsu.com . . . ocean-like waves over tree tops poking out . . . utterly terrifying looking . . . I don't know what's around this area, but if it's on the ground, it's under water . . . huge wave breaking, spray and white caps . . . like an ocean . . .
Try not to. Accu-Weather is trying to destroy the NWS and the NHC. We should all do what we can to stop them. Boycott Accu-Weather before they destroy a good thing.
I must say that listening to the press conferences from the mayors of the affected cities, I find it very chilling. They truly have implemented the nanny state. They must make it safe for the rest of us, because we are too stupid to avoid downed electrical lines and such. It is scary that elected officials have so little regard for those they govern.
Ah, the new catch phrase. Just like the body count that is inserted into every report on Iraq, this phrase will be inserted into every article on Rita.

There is a lock there. It's on the east central side of the city...
Which will it be today? Come back, stay away, come back...
Probably remote from his new home in Dallas instead of NO.
Lafite - lower Jefferson Parish - rescuers pulling hundreds from their homes, sea water pouring in . . .

It's annoying and it's getting old.

Click on the Area Map for a simple view. I'm looking for a site that has pictures and so forth.
No place is perfect, but in an emergency I'd way rather be in TX than New Orleans. I'll have to wait and see about S. FL....
susie
if you know - where in the city are the locks located?
Yes .. I apologize .. I didn't realize that if I reduced the size myself, it wouldn't change the settings.
LOL. We posted the same link to each other.
Also scary that so much of the populace believes government can save them from anything and everything-and should.
Terrebonne Parish LA . . . water still coming up in some areas . . . rescue crews out now . . . several levees topped . . . boats - sheriffs & firemen & Coastguard - in active rescues now . . . many have stayed in this area . . . several areas with problems . . . 7-8 feet around Du Lac area . . .

They are near the area in the lower ninth ward that flooded.
Well, hurry and read them. LOL
brythlea, does your friend pronounce Henderson "Hanerson"?
Most Cajuns do. Oh, I wish I could sit myself down at one of the crawfish restaurant right now and "eat them tails and suck them heads".
