Louisiana is set to be *smacked*

part of the superdome's roof collapsed - i hope no one got hurt when that happened. also, the stadium (like most of the city) is surrounded by water.

And they're evacuating people out of there now due to the rising floodwaters.

Looks like somebody could use the Mopping Feat.

And lots of clerics with Purify Food and Water. Along with Create Food And Water and Heroes Feast. Also Remove Disease will come in handy soon. Could use a few paladins as well.....

A little late for that, don't'cha think?

The broken levee system isn’t going to fix itself is it?

Nope.

Update: My parents are fine. They're cut off in their homes without power or running water, but they expected that, so they planned ahead. My brother's National Guard unit got mobilized, and he's headed to New Orleans soon to help with rescues. I'm sure in a week or so he'll be clearing debris and corpses.

Man.

it could be getting worse. From what I'm hearing, a stretch of levee approximately two blocks long has been breached along the Orleans Parish side of the 17th Street Canal (a canal that connects the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain, running north/south along the border between Orleans and Jefferson parishes). Water is flowing from the lake into the city at an alarming rate. The flood waters are actually getting deeper. Seriously not good.

Mayor Ray Nagin has announced that the attempt to plug a breach in the
17th Street canal at the Hammond Highway bridge has failed and the
rising water is about to overwhelm the pumps on that canal.
The result is that water will begin rising rapidly again, and could
reach as high as 3 feet above sea level. In New Orleans and Jefferson
Parish, that means floodwaters could rise as high as 15 feet in the next
few hours. Nagin urged residents to try to find higher ground as soon as possible.

I think they need a wish or a miracle..

Yep. I'm thinking that N.O. (at least parts of it, of course) is going to be underwater for months. Even when the levees are fixed, draining all that water is going to take a long, long, long time. I wonder how many of the landmarks made it? Jackson Square— St. Louis Cathedral in particular?
