I apologize for the 'double post', but incase anybody hasn't (for some reason) heard
the news:
Hours after the storm had passed (and seemingly spared) New Orleans, the levees gave way, and a short while later the pumps failed... The city is now filling up like a bowl, and it's not expected to stop until it reaches the level of Lake Pontchartrain (some 4 feet above sea level)...
The bodies of the dead are being ignored so emergency workers can focus on rescuing survivors, all of whom will eventually have to be shipped out of the city...
In the meanwhile, there has been widespread looting, and I believe I heard that martial law was declared...
