Mayor: Major Breach Flooding and Destroying New Orleans

[ECH1969]

The City of New Orleans Is Devastated. Those were the words of Mayor C. Ray Nagin and based upon a major breach of a levee system, water is flowing into New Orleans flooding it beyond recognition and could very well destroy New Orleans, Jefferson and the surrounding areas.

In a most frightening interview with WWL TV, Mayor C. Ray Nagin gave the worse-case scenario of events that anyone could possibly imagine. In the beginning of the interview, he stated that New Orleans is devastated.

Of most importance is the breach of the levee between Jefferson and Orleans Parish.

“We probably have 80 percent of our city under water with some sections of our city the water is as deep as 20 feet”.

I guess Bush did not think he would lose a majore American city to global warming on his watch? What a fucker. Why does he not lead? Why has he not been on TV non-stop? What is wrong with this freaking country?

9. You Should Get Some Sleep If You Can. It Won't Be Good Sleep.

But you have a long day ahead. You have to reserve something. This is all just starting.

You know if there is anything I can do that you should contact me immediately.

If your mother had to stay in the city, it sounds like she is in the best possible spot. The quarter may flood but, with the winds dying off, they should be albe to move up. A hotel will also have food and water for a while.

I feel totally helpless right now. The daylight is going to be very ugly indeed.

Get some sleep! I will be on when you wake up.

PM me your calling info! This is too slow...

4. I'm so sorry Swamp Rat

I heard earlier that much of the cell communications were spotty at best. That could well be the only reason you've not heard from you mom.


Here's the article talking about the poor communications coming out of the area.
