On CNN now. :scared: Water is rising. Patients on ventilators still in hospital. They would have to have FEMA fly in via helicopter. Majority of patients would have to be evacutated by air.
Tulane is in the Central Business District.
Breach in Levee on 17th street canal in Lakeview is 2 blocks long. Water is rising so fast "I cannot begin to describe how quickly it's rising."

Evacuating a hospital in an emergency situation is never good. They always lose some of the most fragile.:cry:

6. Then the harrowing video footage I saw tonight |
|
on CNN is just the beginning. I'm also wondering about all of the rain farther north.... all that water eventually ends up in the Mississippi River.
