6. Sorry. Don't wanna be a downer, but the news aint too good lately.

9. well, there's a whole lot of Rita yet to come

[speedoo]

5. Inside or outside the levees

Do you mean they've failed, or just that the water is reaching the tops? And is the water rising or is it flowing?

[tgnyc]

7. 30 foot break

water is rushing

8. The difference this time? No pictures

The military has seen to it that there are few if any reporters there..(of course most have voluntarily gone to the "new crisis"..)

I am afraid that this new storm will affect the areas tha were relatively dry last time too..

Poor NOLA :cry:

10. Crap - looks like Rita will devastate N.O. all over again

[SoCalDem]

11. I am trying to access WWL, but no luck so far

They were a real treasure during Katrina..

[acmejack]

12. They will do the same where Rita hits

The military involvement is not a good thing IMO, I am probably overly paranoid.

13. Just because you're paranoid...
