Looting!? Don't they know they are supposed to allow everything to float down the Mississippi?

New Orleans, the next Venice or abandon it to the waves?

CR,

Here's an updated list including a slight reorganization. Feel free to use any links in future posts.

HURRICANE KATRINA AFTERMATH

"The already dire situation in New Orleans has taken a turn for the worse this morning as the breach in the 17th Street Canal Levee is now 200 feet wide and slowly flooding the entire city. In short, the worst-case scenario may be occurring as flood waters completely fill the below sea-level bowl that is New Orleans, potentially turning Lake Pontchartrain and the city into one big toxic lake."
