Live coverage...levee is failing 350 feet of wall falling apart as we speak...
DirecTV has begun showing WDSU, local channel 6 in New Orleans, on channel 361
The private levee break is in Braithwaite, as far as I can tell by a quick glance. Wanted to come and post this instead.
I like the setup for numerous channels. How do I get that to work with my local stations.
How do I set this up for my local stations. I like the concept.
Fox News Channel reported that it’s a privately owned levee.
It is not New Orleans. It is about an hour drive from NO.
Lord have mercy! What in the world did our pioneer ancestors do when they were in the wagon trains traveling west, with floods, Indian attacks, wagon wheels falling off, muddy trails, disease, dysentery and death? There were no “mental health workers and psychologists and psychiatrists” on whose shoulders they could cry. No “gubmint program” and National guard to come and put down sandbags and levees to stop the floods, or to repair the muddy, rutted out roads, repair and change wagon wheels, or to fight the Indians, health care workers to treat the sick, or morticians to take care of burials in a “sensitive” manner. - My grandfather, back during the Great Depression, was an Appalachian MAN who hollowed out bee gum logs to serve as caskets for his family and neighbors and treated his neighbors with roots and herbs when they were sick. Back then, you either got sick and died or else got old and died with all sorts of rheumatiz and arthritis.
Wake up people before the Obamassiah turns us into a bunch of weenies.

I just heard on Fox that 2 levees are now in danger of failing.
It is not New Orleans. It is about an hour drive from NO.
Nah...the neighborhood is probably mostly white.
Too bad they didn’t do Fox 8.
BTW... still have internet but no power in Mandeville.
Now you’re throwing grenades
Yeah....up near St. Louis.....let the "chocolate city" sink with the other sludge.....
It appears that there is no way to change the stations, as they are part of the HTML code.
> If a levee in Louisiana fails, the local Army Corps of Engineers entire office should be fired.
It would help greatly if you would learn a few facts before spouting off.
You ever been to NOLA?
You ever been to any mile of any levee there?
FWIW-
Chocolate Mayor is on live now.
When you insult the USACE you are also insulting regular ol’ hard working USACE employees who do the labor jobs for USACE. Most of these people would give you the shirt off their back in a heart beat.
As I type this the latest is that no levee's have failed. They are only being over topped by the large amounts of water. No matter what sometimes man can not build structures that can fight off mother nature no matter how hard man tries.
