Was it hushed and awed? Like he was mentioning El Diablo Robotico?
Hushed and eager. Like he was mentioning Jasmine during the thrall.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

More canal breach flooding predicted
Tuesday, 6:35 p.m.
Mayor Ray Nagin issued an urgent bulletin through WWL-TV at 6:30 p.m.
Nagin said efforts to stop the flow of water at the breach on the 17th Street Canal are failing, which means the floodwaters will rise again.
Nagin said the waters will soon overwhelm the pump, shutting it down. He said the water will rise to 3 feet above sea level - or 12-15 feet in some places of east Jefferson and Orleans parishes.
Nagin has advised residents who have not already evacuated to do so as soon as possible.

I'm watching still more video from New Orleans. It's an addiction, I tell ya.
It's just... I'm speechless. They're showing thousands of people who have been rescued by private boats standing on the freeways. Just... wow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Where is everyone supposed to evacuate to?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's it. New Orleans is going to be the Lost Submerged City without that levee fixed. Fifteen feet under? That's not so fixable later.

I'm wondering how they're going to get people out of the Superdome (not to mention everywhere else, but there's what, 60,000 people or so there now). Helicopters are the only real option, right?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Boats?

I saw a piece on the NOLA zoo animals at the gym -- saw, not heard, and had to look away because it was too upsetting.
Oh dear. All those wee lion tamarin monkeys (or something. size of a child's fist.) Actually, they are probably mostly fine, running rampant through the countryside. They were supposed to be confined into one walk-through enclosed aviary, but...they had escaped. I saw them all over the zoo, even on the way to the ferry down to the river. It's the ones that can't get out that...going to stop thinking now.
It's getting all weird stormy here. The kids outside are playing.... club bouncer and druggies. They are probably 8. Sigh.
