That's a horribly empty phrase.
Ack. No kidding.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Oof, this is hearbreaking stuff. From the WWLTV community boards by Parish. This is in St. Bernard Parish:
My nephew's wife and kids left yesterday, but he stayed there with his father. My nephew just spoke to his wife and she said he was on the roof of their 2 story apartment building. They lost everything. They are waiting there with other residents. A neighbor of his is a single mother wiht her two children. One of them is almost blind and the other is autistic. Please send help if you can. They live at 5509 E. Judge Perez Drive.

They are just getting rescue crews out there in the last hour or so. Whole huge areas aren't getting reports because they're so flooded. The north short of Lake Pontchartrain got hit really hard. Wind damage too and the flooding. It's not good over there.

Oh my word, those poor people.

I'll make something up.
The "cleanup hitter" is a wingman whose job it is to lay any of the target woman's posse in need of a shag. Once the guy gets the hot girl and her friend gets his wingman, the "cleanup hitter" takes the remaining women home for a threesome (or more).
Feel better?

I'm following along with Google Maps. That's a pretty big chunk of the city underwater. Better that worst-case cataclysm, but still a lot of people in danger.
And what's sad is how many of these people couldn't flee for one reason or another.
