CB, It will take many months for the areas in Louisiana, and Mississippi to get back to any sort of normal condition. Katrina is expected to be the most devastating, and costly, hurricane in recent history, and she is not yet through with her destruction. Tornados are being spawned along her path as it moves north through the country and even on into Canada. I have been through many hurricanes, but have never seen wreckage before. The people in that area need our prayers, or if one is not religious, our best wishes for the benefit of those that are suffering this tragedy of nature.

This was something I don't think anybody was expecting -- water coming in from Lake Pontchartrain through that canal. I watched the meteorologist on CNN predict exactly this problem two nights ago. He said that a levee break from the lake would flood NO from a different direction than what was expected. His premise was that the storm surge would back water into the lake, and overflow the levee. This was a break, but gave the same result. From what I can see, they haven't been able to stop the water coming in. It could take weeks to drain NO.
