so if katrina is americas tsunami,,,,????

Screw Mardi Gras.

I was always there for the city. I mean, it was a wonderful and beautiful example of an old cross-cultural pollination that was preserved (via poverty) for hundreds of years.

 

dont say poverty in this thread,, lodui may come back an beg to use his college intellect(cough) to use statistics to say they all rich blah blah...

 

Its one of the few US cities I wanted to see but never got to.

the truth can be found there...

there fucked..

lake pontchartrain is 5 feet above its normal level,, and its poorin into new orleans

 

weeks before the water will be pumped out,, 10 feet of water is what there talkin about,,above sea level,, an new orleans is what 2 feet below sea level??


no thats not catostrophic..

 

I have been trying for years to move there. Maybe that was a blessing in disguise.

 

i dunno,, to me its pretty fuckin sad,, the tsunami went away as quick as it came,, this aint gonna do nuthin but get worse before it gets better...

im guessin the death toll bein well over 1000,, but they aint sayin,, so who knows,,

 

wait till the gators and snakes start showing up!

 

And those big-ass channel cats from the river.

 

latest,, the water will get to at least 12 to 15 feet in the streets..

the mayor just told everyone there fucked..//

 

he said the pumps had to be shut down,, there giving up...

 

There's a lot of corpses for em to feed on.

Fighting em back to get the city back --- I dunno.

Everything that's there'll have been, for months, under a layer of corpse-infested, sewage-laced water with a wonderful scum of toxic effluent.

 

And to think this all from a glancing-western-side-of-the-eyewall blow. What would it be like if she hadn't have gone north when she did? Wonder if it matters?

 

wow, how very devastating....
and i do feel that other countries she open their hearts and wallets.....why should we shoulder it all.....i agree we have the resources but we don't have enough...things are already bad enough in our economy.

 

Seemingly the worst case scenario happened even though it wasn't a direct hit...not sure if it would have.

damn, I'm watching cnn and apparantly people are car jacking those trying to drive out and there has been some shootings...I guess that is (was?) one of the most violent cities in the US

 

now that is a shame gary.....
humanity is so fucking sick

 

the mayors qoute

" in 12 to 15 hours new orleans will be 9 feet under water.."

 

well the corps of engineers are bringing in concrete barriers and giant sandbags, so they aren't giving up...not sure what good it will do, but they are still pumping too

 

man i just read and saw the video of the guy who was holding his wife's hand when the wind took her away....
now, can you imagine....what heartbreak....

 

heartbreak... such an inadequate word... think I'd follow her...
