I looked at a fresh sattelite pic yesteday and it looked like there was almost no land left in lower plaquemines except along the river levee. Time to breach that levee if that's true. Nothing left to save.
Can't imagine the death toll down there, with all the poverty. I predict this death toll will rise above that of Galveston.
Here is a link to a series of before and after pictures. Very interesting to see.
