This may have already been covered but I was watching CNN and they were saying that the city could be potentially flooded for weeks....if that is the case, all those people in the Superdome...wouldn't they be trapped?
Let's hope it don't flatten her chest, cause she's got a nice pair. Speaking of that, how does a bourbon St. picture not have the girls aflappin.

White folk....
Obviously that girl is stupid for being there, but why would he risk his life to show her stupidity.
Most of these people didn't have the means to leave. I would imagine they would be trapped, but I guess it's better than being dead.
Send them to Dallas
I'm sure they can get in boats and choppers after it clears up.wouldn't they be trapped?
the pressure is down to 908. It looks more and more like an eye wall replacement. If that is the case, we just have to sit back and see how long it takes.
Journalists help do ent the world's events for the reader/viewer/etc. It's a want to do ent those events that drive people to cover them.
Why am I always on-call here in San Marcos? If something happens that our readers would want to know, we cover it the best we can.
I understand that, but you have to draw the line somewhere I hope he at least mapped out where he was going to go for shelter.
Is still says 904

P.S.You should write the pressure is up to 908
He drew his line. His line included filing photos from the French Quarter to give us a deeper understanding of the situation on the ground there.
It probably also (hopefully) included extra pay.
he will probably seek shelter under her breasts.
Well the photog is allowed to do whatever he wants with his life, but most people are leaving and that includes journalists. You can't do ent when you're dead.
I'm not saying it's not risky.
, I've had the talk with my family about what lengths I would go to for stories.
This is scary all-around.
that's interesting Johnny. Where is the craziest place you've been for a story?
I haven't had any experiences of that sort (or anything near it) to where my own life was possibly in danger.
The last big story I covered where I was on-call of sorts was the death of a student last April. The student jumped into the SM River from a balcony at Joe's Crab Shack and drowned.
It was more of a breaking news story which required coordination from our staff very late at night.
I think about what lengths I would go to for my job. Would I go into a war zone, would I have hung around the WTC on 9/11? I'd like to think I would cover those events as best I could, but when it comes down to it, I don't know how I would react.
I just had the most depressing talk with my sister...
FEMA is expecting:
1 million (yes, million) homeless for the next year as a result of this storm
50,000 dead
NO underwater for 8 months
Engineers have put it at 60/40 that the Superdome even survives this storm (yes, do the math on those inside if the 40% turns out to be right)
Army Corps of Engineers says subtract 3 ft. from all the levee heights you've heard on the news - the levees were built in the 60s, and avg. subsistation in La. since then adds up to the levees "settling" approximately 3.5 ft. lower than their stated heights
FEMA has put half its man power available nationwide on standby for the aftermath
Not looking good at all.
These next 18 hours are going to make a huge impact on the lives of many people, not just those directly in the path of Katrina.
It's going to be an interesting ride.
It's kinda amazing that we are seeing history right before our eyes. People are going to study this event for many years.
Personally, I'd love to go through a storm. But this is too damn much. I envy the journalists that get to stay there in the cat 1s and 2s, but anything above that is pushing it.
My thoughts exactly.
I went out about an hour ago and it just struck me as weird that with all the coverage I've seen today and read, how nice and calm it was outside.
Side note: WWL just shut down their local studios (they're in the French Quarter) and switched to Baton Rouge. They're using the Mass Comm studios at LSU.
Yeah, any weakening of the storm at this point doesn't mean much. NO is going to drastically change.
I usually hate to hear things like that because it sounds like over dramitization, but people just don't realize what this storm is going to do.
This is like 9/11 for me, I can see it, but it's just so weird to accept, it's just like a slap in the face.
Talk about your trial by fire for students.
WWL just said that a lot of the work in the studio is being done by the students.
