Wow. That is awful. Looks like the town was contructed during low tide, and then the tide came in.

The damage that has hit SW Louisiana and SE Texas is much worse than is being reported by the MSM. While there is very little in the way of a body count, houses and businesses by the hundreds have been destroyed. Entire communities in Cameron Parish have more than likely been erased from the map.
Here is link for some images from SW LA. You'll have to scroll down.

RELIEF AS HURRICANE FAILS TO CAUSE DEVASTATION
Maybe he is referring to human loss of life?
There's about 13 to 14 in that herd worth about $800 a piece = $11,200.00 total
They are drinking that water too. With the oil rigs offshore, the flooded out gas stations, power plants, plus seawater mixed in, those cattle are going to have more serious problems than hoof rot.
Ya that is it, Holly Beach.
Here's a picture of the Inn on the Bayou meeting Contraband Bayou. Maybe somebody who knows how can size this picture a little bigger.
On TWC, they just showed a report by some reporterette from ABC. She was reporting from Beaumont, showing just regular damage. She said Rita was far less destructive than Katrina. God, I hate these liars. They just show what they want to show, make false blanket statements like that, and the sheeple get a totally distorted impression of what really happened.
Lake Charles?
Yep. Lake Charles. Notice that the bayou appears to be into the first floor rooms. We've stayed there many times in our trips to LC. That is, until they got new management and wouldn't let us bring our dogs.
There is a satallite camera that you can type in your address and it will be brought up on line...My step daughter from NO has been keeping track of her home that way....Sorry I don't know the link. ANyone else?
Thank you I really appreciate the info.
I found this "before" picture of Holly Beach. I'm not smart on posting pics here yet, so maybe someone who knows how can do it. The "before" and "after" pics are unbelievable. Here's the link: http://www.earthchangestv.com/2001_secure/Breaking_News/0530rising_tide_files/louisiana.jpg
Thanks a million, backhoe. I'll figure out how to post pics sooner or later.
There's a really simple way to do it without bothering with HTML if you have Outlook Express on your machine, and it works for links, too.
Create a new email- poke the "tools" then "view" tabs, and enable "source edit."
Keeping your email open, go to whatever you need to post here, hilight, copy & paste into the new email.
At the bottom of your email is a three tab bar- hit "source," and the HTML normally hidden will be revealed-- simply hilight, copy & paste that here.
It works about 90% of the time-- always preview, sometimes you have to edit the source manually, but usually it works without that- just check to be sure.
Works on other HTML forums, too.
Gotta run & start bedding down the house ( wife & dog are giving me dirty looks... ) but give it a try- it takes the hassle out of trying to hand-code stuff.
