Something I don't hear on the news that bothers me...
All these dipshits saying how NOLA escaped a certain destruction, yadda, yadda...

That frigging storm which they are preparing to ignore is dumping up to 10" of rain an HOUR in the Mississippi River Estrary system... have any of these geniuses thought of what a 30-45 flood stage will do to NOLA in a week or so?

2. Obvious to whom? I doubt if half the morons reporting
the news know the Ohio and Tennesse Rivers drain into the Mississippi.

3. The FEMA guy on CNN said NOLA could be flooded for weeks.
and 6 to 12 months before buildings are deemed safe to return to.
