The water coming up in the city is full of oil, chemicals, sewage, snakes, rats and fire ants. It'll take boats working the flooded streets to get folks to the levees.
I am talking about the folks that are downtown, or in the French Quarter, or in the higher areas near the levees running south of St Charles Street. Those folks need to be evacuated. They are trying to get folks to downtown that are trapped in attics and roof tops in the flood zone. Apparently 700 folks were picked up last night.
