well, what gets me is why people actually stayed. when you know the only thing keeping your city dry are some levys that were built a long time ago to withstand a cat3 storm, and you have a cat5 staring you in the eyes... get the fuck out. none of the gov't agencys acted fast enough, but shit... i have NEVER seen anything like this, they dont know what the fuck to do first, and they have to worry about being shot at while trying to rescue people. i know one helicopter has gone down already cause of civilian gunfire, i herd one almost got jacked.. wtf.

im glad i finally saw on the news ysterday they are doing a manditory evac of N.O. it is about 10 days late, but they need to get those people out of there so something, even if its level the land, can be done.

as much tradition as new o. has, i think they need to rebuild most of it somewhere else. the french quarter is dry from what i saw yesterday, dunno how new that report was, but the rest of the city is under upto 20ft of water. lemmi tell you something about that area... ruined. no chance. even if they can drain the water, and the structures arnt ruined, theres a layer of sludge thats being left on everything that had standing water on it. now 5 days ago that standing water sediment would have just been mud, now its full of e.coli and dysintary just to name a few. i herd theres going to be/already is tons of lepors(sp?) now bcause of all the desease and water standing around.

good post chris

yeah I agree. they need to just let that place lay...tear down the walls and let the water stay..level the city. and rebuild elsewhere. the amount of work they will have to do to rebuild honestly isn't worth it.
