The View from St. Amans

Still w/o power here in St. Amant. I've been tuned into WWL 870 AM. They are transmitting w/an approximate 28 day supply of propane to generate their transmitter. Still operating out of the Omni (?) Building, located next to the 'S-dome. That's one of the buildings w/all the glass & doors blown out of it. Here are some comments I've heard in the last few hours:
"City still continues to flood due to levee breach..."
"Lower half of Plaquemines Parish has been reclaimed by Gulf of Mexico and Miss. River..."
"North shore of Lake Ponchartrain now extends (N) to Old Spanish Trail Rd..."
"The Ponchartrain Causeway was completely submerged except for the 'hump' in the middle..."
"Martial law has been declared..."
"The Miss. River levee was beached from Belle Chase, southward..."
"Search and rescue efforts still continue..."
BTW, officials are now asking all refugees to go to the Lamar Dixon Expo Center, near my home, in Gonzales, LA. We may go volunteer later; they are expecting thousands.
