good luck to everyone in its path. jesus christ, factor did you say that new orleans may be under the delta by tommorow?! holy shit!!

Yes pretty much. New Orleans is entirely below sea level with the Mississippi/Gulf below it and Lake Pontchatrain above it. Basically, it is as if it were sitting in the bottom of a large bowl with water flowing over the edges into it. As of 1:00 today (30th), 80% of New Orleans is under water...and the water is still rising. The only way to drain the city is for its pumps to pump the water out. However, there is no place for the water to be pumped out to. I really don't know how bad it has to get before they consider it unsalvagable but there has been no talk about that around here.

If you are watching any footage, keep in mind that they are not even showing the worst of it. They have not shown the Chalmette area. I work in accordance with EMT personnel that have been deployed to New Orleans. They have informed us that they are not showing ANY footage of the Chalmette area becasue there are bodies floating everywhere and are in the process of excaviting them. Word has it that they are paddling everywhere because they are afraid of turning on their motors due to the fact that they don't know what or who is underwater beneath them.

Pretty Grim
