Nice pics.
I was going to title this thead "Disaster Porn" but I thought that would be in bad taste.
However, here are some pics of the latest fetish gripping the net -- the wind whipped, wet and "ratheresque" anchormen.
p.s. go anderson cooper.

abeliever we have no idea of the death toll as of yet, 80 is just preliminary numbers if that is what you're hearing, but most officials can't even
begin to speculate how many people have died as of yet, because they are still unable to assess the full extent of the damage.

Nice finds, those Casino boat pics are amazing. I had no idea one came in so close to the Dome. Can you imagine if it had instead hit the Dome? The
death toll would be staggering.... (at least I think that's what that is)

... thats' what i'm talkin about !
Now lets expand that idea
* all the evacuated and now dispossessed homeowners are truly
besides themselves, with the stress & anxiety of not knowing how
the homeplace fared.
* i would suggest the Govt or FEMA or local SocialServices
fly a cameraperson over the city, principally the residential areas,
in a very precise gridwork...probably divisioned into zip code areas,
or else quadrants of the city of N.O. & suburbs.
-> put the streaming videos on the web, (using any of the favorite players)
then while the evacuees are whiling away the hours & days at the shelters
or in their hotel 'home away from home'...they could access the video grid
file, on a Govt homepage, and get at least a 3-7 second flyover look at
their homestead.
wouldn't that help those victims out a bunch?
btw, i'm available as a consultant....

Actually, I can't tell if that's a barge, or the New Orleans Arena...I'm not that familiar with the area, just seems that the "building" didn't
seem to fit the parking lot layout....

Some pictures from just south of I-12 in Slidell where they got more wind than water. These people went into Slidell yesterday to survey damage to
their homes. Thanks to Lavay for taking these and to Patti for hosting them.
For more photos of the dry area of Slidell go here and click on Katrina in Slidell.

did I say Andrew X 2-3, this far worse, the pictures are unbelievable. You can't quite phantom how much damage wind can do until you see it.
