The first order of business is to close up the breaks in the levees (3 total - 2 on the 17th St Canal and one near the 9th Ward). Until those are fixed, pumping cannot do anything but to recycle the water from the lake and river back into the city.

They are beginning to clear people out the Superdome and sending them to the Astrodome.

There is some fear that the flooding will spread to other areas on the west bank. Pray that doesn't happen.

The army is coming in and there are 4 boats coming with supplies.

Its really, really awful!

The Governor has been on every national show possible in order to bring Louisiana and Mississippi to the forefront in everyone's minds right now. The state is in dire need of assistance. The state just doesn't have the resources to do everything on its own.
