Holy Crap

[Cleo]

CNN is reporting that the roof of the Super Dome is coming apart and that the National Guard is trying to evacuate the 10,000 people that are staying there.

They are also reporting that water is gushing out of the manholes in the street of New Orleans.

Not looking good at all

I'm going to go out and continue my cleanup from this storm.

That far south, I assumed that they would have had an ark ready for this.

I dont know why CNN does that kind of shit - the Natl Guard engineer that is in the Superdome just reported that they had to move the people to different seats - not evacuate them - they have two cloth panels that are 6 ft long that are torn - and dripping in one small spot in the Dome
This kind of misreporting is what causes most of the casulties with making people scared of something and going into a greater danger spot

Fox reports that pumps are failing and one levee, in sector 9, is breached so far

Linkster, I think you should drive down to burbon street and do a live report for us.

Think Ill stay away from Bourbon St for a bit once they are over the flooding that is still to come - these news stations are acting like the whole thing is over already and its still just starting! Just south of NO there are people on their roofs trying to get help from the coast guard who wont go near them right now
I do know that one building has collapsed completely in the Garden Dist. and they dont know if the people are still in there or not

The real damage wont be known till tomorrow I think - a little east of NO - the last word was that they had at least 30 ft wall of water come ashore and inland

It looks like it is hitting Biloxi and Mobile the hardest. NO is still in for a great deal of flooding...

[Surfn]

Now there are white caps on the streets of NO. Looks like a huge $$$$ recovery. I hope the deaths are minimal.

i heard on NBC news alert that the superdome was on generator power with limited lights and NO A/C. Wonder if they have right guard at the consession stands? They also interviewed some guy who stayed in his house close to downtown NO. He was begging for someone to come get him and had his hammer ready to break through his roof in order to not drown. |spaceship Maybe Anne Rice should have made that plea to get out of town instead of the mayor & President.

We have 3 cam girls who are in NO & area. hopefully they got out. I saw one was camming as late at 930pm last night.

But, its that kind of reporting that drives up ad revenue.
