[R-390] After The Storm

[Barry Hauser]

What a relief -- I was afraid to ask.

Very upset about N.O. -- one of my favorite places.  Big mess.  That really 
tars it -- downtown mostly spared, but now Lake P. is spiling in.  Can't 
they use some of those heavy lift helicopters and drop some big pieces of 
stuff in there, like cargo containers filled with something?  Or some kind 
of empty caisons, such as were used to make those temporary docks at 
Normandy and then fill'em and sink 'em?  Seems it should be possible to plug 
that leak or minimizing it.  Now they have to evacuate all the rest of the 
NO folks.  No more begneits 'n coffee at Cafe duMonde for a while. <sigh>

Not to mention points East.  This is bad.  Very very bad.

The news keeps gettting worse and worse and they still can't get into some 
areas - combination of flood and non-flooded areas in the way so can't do it 
with boats and can't do it with ground vehicles.  I would hope they're 
deploying amtracks -- or 'copter lifting boats into the areas.

Are there other list members in harm's way?

Take care.

Barry
