3. No footage yet. Recycled footage is more important, apparently.
You're not alone though on the sleep thing. I can't sleep while my home city sinks into the ocean. :cry:

and show rushing water under a spotlight. There won't be a decent photo of the levee break until the sun is up. It'll probably widen too. I hate to say it, but once a levee gets a hole it keeps expanding until somebody shores it up (which takes earthmovers and a shitload of rocks) or the pressure equalizes. :(
