My local radio just said stock trading is going up because Rita isn't going to cause as much damage as initially feared.

Dang, I'm glad I have another source for news.

I even checked these threads last night with the impression that Rita was breaking up. Remember NN?

Fox reporters are trying to get anybody to say "breech," and get past "overtopping."

Col. Cauldwell based his conclusion on the water being 3 feet deep, but he didn't say where it was 3 feet deep. 3 feet deep on the other side of the levee sense since the water in the canal is more than 7 feet higher than the 9th Ward.

No question there is serious flooding - but it'll be faster and deeper if the levee does in fact breech/open all the way.
