No. Still trying to build a big picture, one anecdotal report at a time.
Thanks for your post about the surge. I've been so worried about that area because of the ominous silence. It was the same way after Katrina. There was no news from the Mississippi Gulf Coast during the first 12-24 hours because everything down there was almost wiped out. I hope the residents got out of there before it hit.
Just got back from a couple of errands...not good in Lake Charles...looking like tsunami pics.
No, the report said "just south of Houma".
My software says that's a minimum nine foot surge.
Nagin up next!
Many of my St. Bernard relatives are putting the responsibility directly on the shoulders of Blanco and Nagin. This new creation of hers is a way to snap up funds for LA before damage assessments are made, including to the other states.
They won't be prepared for the backlash and resentment they are causing all around this country.
Nagin up, popcorn on.
Mayor "come home" on now...
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..Nagin is up...
That's bad....:o(
Means many people in many small towns could be in big trouble.
Nothin' Nagin and Blank-o - what a team
No cable here.
Dial up too.
I'm informationally challenged.
flash flooding in Shreveport and Shelby county texas..we need to watch shreveport area, rainfall rates of 3-4 inches an hour with whats left of the eye wall and it looks like the movement may be slowing..could stall over the city
Away from the TV - can you give me a blow by blow on what Nagin is saying? Thanks.
Can someone post the pic of nagin riding the school buses!
Still water seeping into Ninth Ward. Flooding seems to be contained to the Ninth Ward. (That will make the tin foil people start in again.) Most parts of city are dry except for rain water...12-14 inches.
The re-flooding of NOLA is not much of a news event. No new property damage, no additional loss of life.
Interested in learning in more about those areas near the state line.
Synopsis anyone?
Thanks, Peach ... ping to timeline.
Sheets in place are blocking two canals. No place to pump now. Protection against storm surge is most important.
It did what storm surge does sometimes...the sea rises slowly like an extra-high high tide, comes in after the the worst of the windstorm, and just keeps rising until it's done.
