I've worried all day that the levee to the Mississippi would break. Is the Army Corp of Engineers there yet and keeping an eye on that one, do we know?
I'm not sure it really matters, though. The damage has been done. What I thought was going to happen the day of the hurricane happened the next day instead. The city will be uninhabitable for weeks at best.
And when people try to live in uninhabitable areas, they die. So the main question is how or if you can get these people out. The window for this is not long. You can't live in the attic or on the roof of your house in the hot Louisiana sun without water for a week, that's for certain.
This is going to get far more ugly in the next few days.
Sure hope the Corps has been on duty checking the levees because I would sure hate to think it was anyone from the city Government checking. At least FEMA has taken charge according to the Sheriff.
