#1 We can only hope that the insurance companies refuse to finance rebuilding on the same locations. Its the beginning of the lots-of-hurricanes side of the weather cycle, which should last about a generation, suggesting this kind of thing is going to happen an awful lot in the coming years. Let the survivors take their money and start over inland and off the Mississippi floodplain.

#2 I want to see an effort made by the Pentagon like they did for the Tusnami. Our people deserve that if not more.

#3 Why yes Sam. However, other than the local National Guard, do you really think the MSM wants our national military to get any good press? But do look forward to all the 'failures' and SNAFUs given broad coverage.

#4 I watched Fox and ABC this morning, and I am shocked at the coverage now 6 hours later. This is bad news getting worse.
New Orleans will not be a functioning city for 2 months at least. No school districts for 2 months at best. No water, food, gasoline or commerse anywhere near city. It will be days before they can even start removing the water, and that process, under ideal conditions, witj all pumps running, estimated to take 2 weeks! They are going to have to clear everyone out in New Orleans, it looks like to me.

#5 Wonder what's going to happen with Tulane and Loyola. Sounds like at least 1 semester is a complete write off.
