Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm starting think that what would have been worse is that it would have been happening more quickly and violently, and that would have probably resulted in a greater loss of life. But where the city (rather than the population) is concerned, what's happening now, is pretty much what was predicted had the Category 5 hitting dead on.
Yeah, this is a good point. Though the French Quarter came through it better, didn't it? Or is it flooding too now?
The last I heard specifically about the French Quarter billytea, was that the water was starting down Canal St. and heading right toward it. I think I'm going to hit Google and see what I can find.
More disturbing, the Hurricane opened the mausoleum at Southern Memorial Park, dumping caskets out onto the lawn.
I forgot about the cemetaries.
Mostly, I wonder where all these people will go, and what will happen to them. They're homeless, have no jobs to go to, lost an entire city. What happens to them, now?
which led to an idea of how cool it would be to have a variety of writers put together a NOLA anthology
Each story could involve a past disaster. The city has already made it through so many. Now it has a new generation of surviors.
I forgot about the cemetaries.Yeah. That's why I mentioned the bodies when Maria was talking about the pollution involved. I wasn't thinking in terms of storm casualties.
Mostly, I wonder where all these people will go, and what will happen to them. They're homeless, have no jobs to go to, lost an entire city. What happens to them, now?I can't. I have been crying all day, thinking about it. I think that's why I can't get het up about the looting. Everything is gone or going.

Maybe Bush will send in Army recruiters.

Well, my plot bunny is Battle of New Orleans (everyone who's surprised, please raise a hand). No disaster there.

He's on vacation.
billytea, there are reports the French Quarter is flooding: [link] Scroll down to the applicable header (not too far down). That site states FOX News (sorry) is also reporting French Quarter flooding, but I didn't see it on the FOX site (it's hard to read with your eyes closed).

Maybe not disasters per se, but epic events. Where the New Orlenians showed how tough they were yet again.
New Orlenians? New Orleanseans?
