I've been waiting for the Brays Bayou map to load for 7 minutes now (cable Internet, too). Still "Retrieving Map". Talk about a slow server!

Finally loaded in 9 minutes. But I clicked a wrong button then got an error and had to reload the page again. Back to "Retrieving Map". What a worthless web site! (or server)

Well, the map won't load. I get an error saying "image too big". Too big for what? I'm on a P4 3GHz machine that has 1GB RAM with a 19" flat panel monitor and a 128mb Radeon 9800 Pro video card. If I can't load it here, who can?

Update: I tried again, typed in my address and zip code and after 5-10 miinutes the image popped in. Looks like my house is in a high spot. The 500-year flood surrounds me on all sides about a half mile away or less.
