I lived in Northridge for that oneHurricane Katrina may rival the 1994 Northridge earthquake as the third most costly U.S. catastrophe, according to preliminary forecasts of insured losses.
Tons of bodies are floating around the 9th Ward.
oh my god.

Governer of Miss. said that "there is alot of dead people out there tonight"
2pac - I haven't seen this confirmed elsewhere. I don't doubt she heard it, just doubt it's true until I see some verification.
I would not be suprised to see the dead get up to 500 or so.
This storm wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but it was pretty ing bad. There will always be people that refuse to leave, but those numbers being tossed around by the media weren't made up. They were derived from simulations.
Hopefully NO can fix some of their problems soon.
BTW, Tropical Depression 13 formed yesterday in the Atlantic and died today but within a day we should have TD14 form out there as well. The peak of hurricane season is still 3 weeks away and we then have a couple of months to go before it ends.

Go there and watch the old man drive into the water, gets rescued. Crazy.
Scott - I have been looking for it as well and havent found it.
Looks like they will reopen NO on Friday. I will be among those getting in the city.
Good luck man. Take some protection (not condoms, I mean Smith & Wesson).
I've been posting the updates from WDSU's blog all day, and they haven't said anything about the bodies everywhere.
Nice footage of looters.
Assholes.
I got a box yesterday for my Ruger 9mm. Got two clips, so that should be enough.
My ax is in SA, but I have backups in NO. I plan to clean up my grandma's place as much as possible, but also there to take pics.
The guy didn't think twice about running out there. That's really something...
Fox News is showing I-10... under 15 feet of water from Pontchartrain.
Where? East or west?
75% of buildings in Gulfport, MS now have no roof.
2pac - west. They drove in from Beaumont earlier today. Just broadcasted from I-10, they were 2 miles outside of town, everything's underwater.
West of town, I-10 goes directly over Ponch.
East of town, I-10 crosses Ponch again on the way to Slidell.
Yeah I've driven through there a couple of times going to Florida. They said it was the I-10, 610 interchange they were stuck on.
Which would be really ed up because if I remember right there's a good 25-30 city blocks between the lake and that interchange.
2pac - I don't know if you saw this ...
Louisiana evacuees should stay away for at least a week to avoid "a wilderness" without power or drinking water that will be infested with poisonous snakes and fire ants, state officials warned Monday.
Yeah - that is past the Galleria mall, Causeway and stuff. That interchange is way inland. Thats horrible news.
Thanks Kori - I did see that. My grandma's house is stocked, as well as I will bring supplies with me for the weekend.
Yeah I hope that chick was wrong about where she was, but they were definitely at an interchange.
If she was spot on their location, that's a load of NO that is underwater right now.
, CNN is in the same spot that the Fox News chick was, and is confirming that everything between the 610/I10 interchange and Pontch is underwater. Says they have boats out trying to find survivors.
Awful... for those of you not familiar with La., that interchange is 25 blocks inland from the lake, with nothing but houses in between. Spoke to a survivor, said the water came up in a short period of time after the worse of the storm was over. Sounds like a levee broke or the lake crested the levees big time.

Thats a TON of NO underwater. Lets hope she is way off.
The I-10 & 310 Interchange before the Airport makes more sense.
The I-10 & HWY 51 would be even better.
I think I just heard the WalMart will be donating $1,000,000 for relief, too.
Watching more & more video since I got home....this is just awful.
Yeah, I think I have heard WalMart, Office Depot and Best Buy.
