Can you imagine the water being to your rooftop and waiting to be rescued from that rooftop? There were 200 people (20 were cops) waiting to be rescued that way. There were also bodies floating in the water. This is just like Hurricane Betsy. People just didn't heed the warnings. What will it take for them to wake up?

Had New Orleans have had the direct hit that was predicted, there would have been thousands dead - including some in the Superdome. That structure should have never been used for evacuations.

I'm feeling really fortunate right now!!!
