There are like about 100,000 something ppl still left in the city, they closed the causeways out of the city, so basically the rest of the people are stuck stranded....god be with them, thats for sure. This city is probably gonna be demolished.

Some good news is the hurricane weakened overnight before it hit land this morning. Winds went from 165-175, which is catastrophic, to about 140 or a little less, which is about how strong Ivan was last year when it hit landfall. Needless to say the elevation in NO is still going to cause a problem, but most people doubt it's going to be near as bad as predicted. Ivan, Dennis, and now Katrina all weakened before they hit landfall, so gg.

CNN is reporting that the roof of the Superdome is getting torn up and people can see daylight through it. Sounds like bad news considering the worst is a couple of hours away.

Just a bad choice of setting up your life in an area that is known to be effected by these things.
Hopefully they pull it out ok.
