Telling last paragraph line...

"Yet, as beneficial as this [levee] system is to the city, inevitably it will spell New Orleans' doom. "

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

My brother just heard from my Dad who is in Diamondhead, MS. Diamondhead is in Hancock county...about 20 miles east of Slidell and 20 miles west of Gulfport. They live inland from I10 near the water tower if anyone knows the area. They are fine and miraculously so is the house. There is just some minor shingle damage.

The call came from a neighbors cell phone so we should start hearing more very soon.

Praise God!

The last paragraph of your link is prophetic. The body of the article is enlightening. Thanks for posting it.

To try to recreate or rebuild that which cannot ever be again is fruitless. On the other hand,to preserve as much of the old city as a historical site is IMO very worthwhile and should be pursued.

However,to expend blood,sweat,tears and/or any human or financial resources to restore the city,as it was last Sunday morning,is,or would be, a terrible and unconscionable waste.
