Re: Wait, turns out New Orleans is screwed after all
Do you still have family there?
How did the Metarie area turn out? I got friends there, but I haven't been able to get ahold of them. Melch

Re: Wait, turns out New Orleans is screwed after all
My in-laws live in Metarie up by the lake and they all got out of Dodge the other day.
Footage that I saw today showed that it was flooded around the Clearview mall and along Veterans Blvd. It also seemed to be flooded up towards the E Jefferson Hospital. So it's not looking good. My in-laws are not planning on heading back for another week.

Re: Wait, turns out New Orleans is screwed after all
Nothing really new to add about New Orleans, but I was walking through the Student Center today and they had a big registration table set up for Tulane. Apparently some of the student body has been moved to GT for the next few months. Good for Tech.
Both my parents went to Tulane, and my grandfather taught there for a while, so I'm glad my school is doing something to help the victims out.

BBC report.
"I can only imagine that this is what Hiroshima looked like 60 years ago," said Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour after viewing the destruction from the air. No, that would have been substantially different, you stupid, stupid fool.

While we're at it, let's compare Bush to Hitler for the trifecta.

But this man is probably so overwhelmed right now, I'll cut him some slack for a poor analogy. Just like Hiroshima, New Orleans has sustained damage that is near total destruction. Whatever is left standing after the waters recede will probably have to be torn down and rebuilt. It's gonna take years to recover.....
