Does anyone have the latest on the status of the levees around Pontchartrain? I'm at work & I'm relying on all of the great updates from you guys.


Heh...didn't mean to offend the Californians. I wouldn't be out here if I didn't like it. IMO, the Bay Area is "hella jacked." :wink:

Pretty good hit for a junky storm! Up here in N Fl we lost power the first hour of the storm and didnt get it back for a week. Not doubting how it looked but being on the recieving end, it went on for days.

Tally,

No offense taken...I'm just a little on edge..that's all.

Since I'm from SoCal, I'd have to agree wholeheartedly on your bay area comment!!!

Everyone else,

Thanks for the continued updates on the situation including the levees. Is this nightmare over for NOLA or is there a chance the levees may overflow or fail?
