      Depends on your viewpoint...
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

      • Reportedly, there's two seperate levee breaks: One in the west and one in the east.

        The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

            • So if I get it right, they'd first need to plug the holes in the levees and then fix the pumps before they can get all that water out of the city?

              • In Lakeview, the scene was surreal. A woman yelled to reporters from a rooftop, asking them to call her father and tell him she was OK, although fleeing to the roof of a two-story home hardly seemed to qualify.

                About 5 p.m., almost as if on cue, the battery power of all the house alarms in the neighborhood seemed to reach a critical level, and they all went off, making it sound as if the area was under an air-raid warning. Two men surviving on generator power in the Lake Terrace neighborhood near the Lake Pontchartrain levee still had a dry house, but they were watching the rising water in the yard nervously. They were planning to head out to retrieve a vast stash of beer, champagne and hard liquor they found washed onto the levee. As night fell, the sirens of house alarms finally fell silent, and the air filled with a different, deafening and unfamiliar sound: the extraordinary din of thousands of croaking frogs.

                  It's good to see that the city was spared from the worst case scenario

                          • I'm hearing reports that Slidell -- on the opposite side of Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans -- fared very badly. "Totally devastated" and under water.
                            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                              • Here's a picture of the blown levee. It's sort of hard to tell which side of the levee is where the people live...
