oh christ... a fire in the French Quarter...
At Bourbon and Canal, at the Footlocker - breaking on CNN.

I can't take this slow death much longer.

1. Kick...
The French Quarter is the only salvageable area of the city. If it burns, there's nothing left.

2. NOFD is on the scene fighting the fire
by pumping floodwater out of the street.

The French Quarter will remain.

3. Nothign is being done...
and volunteers are being tuned away. They basically said, "if we don't call you, don't waste the trip." They think everything is under control. When just the opposite is true.

7. I think they've given up on
the city itself - they're just trying to save lives. And that's the right thing to do.

But damn, it hurts.
