1. why does CNN refuse to report this?

2. Even more water is coming

down the Mississippi from all the water this storm will dump has it heads north.

3. that is the reason why NO is only half way through this

5. And that is what most of the 'experts'

on this forum don't understand.

9. yep....all those reporters out there defying the wind makes it look like

"no big deal." It's the aftermath that's a big deal when the reporters go home after having their thrill in the storm.

When the folks who evacuated have to go on with their lives and those who've lost their lives are found much later.

It's all controlled news about New Orleans dodged the "Big One." They figure that's all folks care about. And some are so used to the MSM Propaganda and one day wonder stories they lose all perspective.

4. Is there a good street map that shows these areas?

I'm not familiar enough with N.O. to know where St. Bernard Parish is.

Also another poster said the "Industrial" levee was compromised. I wonder if this is what's causing the flooding to these areas, but don't know anything about the layout. I'm going online to find a map now, but if you have one handy please post it.

thanks

6. I saw wdsu stream when the anchor was taken aback reading a report that

half of the city may be flooded. She mentioned several parishes. Jeez.
