    Default Total Devastation.

    The entire city of New Orleans is under water.There was two breaks in the levee holding the lake water out.The city is wiped out.I'm OK and so are my dogs and family.I have retreated to TX for a few days.

    I was thinking about ya. *worries* Also hoping you got out in time or at least found dry ground. I saw the hurricane hit mississppi too. I pray for everyones family and jobs (as I would think some of the SC's would be under water too) that are in the area of the storm.
    I never thought it would make it that far to nola.

    Glad to hear you're OK, OTB. May you and your family return to normalcy as quickly as possible, and prayers for everyone on the Gulf Coast as they rebuild.

    Horrible. That whole state lost most of its culture I bet. Glad you're ok.

    Yes,the whole city did lose its culture.The old world streets of the French Quarter will never be the same.

    Thanks,everyone.

    I hope you have alternate plans for work and shelter for a while. Mayor Ray Nagin says it will be WEEKS before people can start moving back in.

    Glad that you and your babies are safe, OTB. I've stopped watching the news. I can't take it anymore. All that footage is so sad. Nola and Mississippi are in my thoughts.

    It's so depressing to think about the outcome of the storm.

    Isn't it amazing how things can change so quickly?

    OTB glad to see you're safe.

    My dad has some friends and relatives in the Baton Rouge area and has only been able to get one phone call through since Sunday, because so much of the telephone infrastructure has been knocked out (both land line and cell), and whatever is left has been overwhelmed.

    One of his friends has a daughter who worked at one of the casinos in Biloxi, and she actually rode out the storm there. She's safe, but her place of employment is now sitting gutted in the middle of a highway. Some of the casino barges I'm told they can't even find.

    You get a job on a clean up crew and I would think the city would be putting many people to work as well until this gets cleaned up . The national guard will be very busy as well . Its not good at all no one can prepare for this and certainly they cant move fast enough to get it all cleaned up . My wife is harping on me constantly about moving close to the water - maybe she will have a different point of view now . We have only hit the tip of how the country as a whole will be affected watch prices go up on all building materials as well .. I just hope that people get out of this with their families still in tact .

    Yeah, what is going on with the clubs? Rick's sounds like it's gone, but what about the others? I'm going off of the assumption that work there is null and void for awhile, but it would take less time to get the clubs back to normal if things are just flooded, and don't have to be rebuilt all the way.

    There's no point in opening the clubs up if the locals have no place to live and the tourists have no place to fly into or stay.

    According to reports, the airport will likely not be open again for another TWO MONTHS.

    Once things get to the point when they can have people visit again, I for one am going back, taking as many people as I can with me and blowing fuckloads of cash. In the meantime, I'll be donating 10% of my income to relief causes during September.

    You cant get to your ATM and even if you could how long would that last?

    Not only work, but the basic necessities, are going to be lacking for a long time except for relief. Unless you are in construction / cleanup crews, what else is there to do besides work and maybe cry?
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
