The flooding situation in New Orleans continues to worsen as efforts to seal the leaking levees have apparently failed. A notice on the WWL website says that they are expecting nine feet of water throughout the city within the next 12 hours. I am disappointed, frustrated, and depressed. After surviving the storm itself, are we to succumb to a levee breech that goes unrepaired for 48 hours? The brother in law reports that the flood waters continue to rise and now I can hear the tiredness in his voice. The hospitals downtown are no longer functioning and a huge public health crisis looms. Thanks to all who have sent their good wishes. It helps.
And still there is nothing I can do.

I can't even imagine what it must feel like to have not only probably your home but your entire city pretty much disappear. Is your brother-in-law somewhere safe from the rising waters? Thoughts/prayers are with you and your family and those still in New Orleans.
I know how you feel - we are sitting here in Beaumont waiting to hear if our house will now go under. We live in one of the presumed dry sections of uptown, but I guess we can no longer presume it is dry. At least you took your bike. Mine waits for the waves...
