2. They'd get more FEMA dollars than they asked for...

3. The death toll is going to be high.

Although many have evacuated, many people have stayed in their homes.

11. With the change in direction, other areas got hit unexpectedly

Probably one reason some people got caught

4. Will this natural disaster cost us more than the human one we opted for

in Iraq/Afghanistan?

5. Did this mean all the way underwater?

Crap! I've had my home flooded before when I lived in Houston, but not completely submerged. I'm not sure how much of the structure would he salvageable (if any) after that.

6. Just saw video of houses all the way up to the rooftops.

:cry:

My heart is breaking for each and everyone of them. I hope they residents got out safely.

13. If it's a Parish (instead of a county) I assume it's in Lousiansa

But I invite any Gulf Coast DUers to slap me on the head with wet wreckage if I'm wrong.

This is looking extremely ugly, the happy happy joy joy stock market and the happy happy joy joy talking heads notwithstanding.
