we can talk about them if we want
they wont see it for a week maybe more

You're a bad bad man Tommy :D

Excellent news MML! Thanks very much for the update |thumb

I'm watching it on CNN right now. There are no words that even begin to describe what is happening there. It looks much worse then what hurricane Andrew did to south Florida in the nineties. :(

Also they are reporting that the levees have failed and parts of NO are flooding.

|thumb for Linkster!

I just finished talking to a friend of mine who is with the Coast Guard Search and Rescue (they let him take a 2 hour break) and he told me that this is the worst disaster he has been involved in (in terms of magnitude) since he joined SR 35 years ago. :(

I know this is going to sound fucked up, but my wife and I had no idea of all this destruction until about 7pm est. We sat down to eat and saw all this. I just hope everyone is ok.

Agreed. Never knew that place was really really under water. They said on the news if they dont stop the water the whole town will be under. Its like 30 or 40 ft below sea level with water on both sides. This is just as f-ed up as 911 only thing wiht 911 we had someone to point a finger at. Who do you point at this one? No one but mother nature. But I'm sure by next week they will be hunting down some poor weather men asking how they could not know it would be this bad. Just sad.

Awesome news!

I agree Cleo it is worse than Andrew. I have to make myself stay off CNN. I've never seen such destruction it's awful! I find myself getting down from all the suffering going on there. What a fucking mess...... |cry|

wow - just watching it all on CNN, it's really incredible.

I hope anyone from here that's out there is ok & knows our thoughts are with them

Ponygirl

grin UW you are so bad!!!
Good to hear all is oke with them!:)

Good to hear Linkster is allright :D

Everytime I tune in to CNN the news seems worse. This morning they're saying 80% of New Orleans is under water now (20% in places), and that the levees are still flooding new water into the city. The mayor of N.O. was on talking about how there are "too many frickin' cooks" right now and things which could help, like sandbagging, aren't getting done.

My father's brother and family lived on a bayou outside N.O. and it's pretty much nothing but water there now.

It looks bad from here. It's not going to be easy for folks in that region. I hope everyone else we know in the area is okay, and will be able to pick up the pieces and go on with the struggle.

Honestly, I knew that Linkster would be OK. Chop, on the other hand... I could picture him sitting in a row boat moored to his chimney, fishing like it was just another day in the bayou."

Looks like NO will soon be known as the city with fishing on every corner.

Wow every time I turn on the news it just gets worse. :(
