Live shots of Lake Charles LA now on wdsu.com . . . ocean-like waves over tree tops poking out . . . utterly terrifying looking . . . I don't know what's around this area, but if it's on the ground, it's under water . . . huge wave breaking, spray and white caps . . . like an ocean . . .

Lake Charles is quite far in from the coast. If the surge went in that far... Horrifying. Inevitable, though, I suppose, because most of that coast is swamp and the surge could travel in further.

An eye opener. Some of my family went to Lake Charles when Katrina hit, some to Shreveport others to other states. Frightening to think Rita went that far inland.
