If there is a news blackout, it will be because the levees have totally gone. Keep hearing that the levees are getting in worse shape.
What I just heard on WWL said they are trying to rescue everyone they can but they cannot tell the beginning and end of the Mississippi River right now because of all the holes and breeches.
That was Plaqueminnes Parish they were talking about... not New Orleans.
But can you explain WHY there would be a news blackout. Is that to prevent panic? CNN said someoe said this looks like Japan after the bomb dropped.
What is the latest on Shep. Did they get him out of there or is he still claiming NO dodged a bullet?
I hate to watch helplessly..and I can't stop watching..God help these people and their rescuers.
What is the station number for WWL? We usually can get it after dark here or in the winter, but I have not listined for awhile and have forgotten.

Important to note, the Mississippi passes all three of New Orlean's levee basins. Without a location on those levee breaks, the river levee breaks referred to might well be in the eastern bowl, which has already flooded all it is going to.
At this point, all we know about flooding in downtown for sure is that it sources to Lake Ponchartrain via the 17th St. Canal.
Maybe a hair splitting point, but so far the River isn't loose into downtown....not yet anyway.
