My friend's parents' house is in the same area (right near where Clearview ends at the lake) they don't hold out much hope for it at this point. Yeah, I heard that Pontchartrain is threatening to overflow the levees, or maybe it has by now. I expect it's flooding there, but I don't know how high. My folks' house is in Metairie, on a dead-end block where the street meets the levee at Lake Pontchartrain. But much, much better than the alternative. It's weird, being able to go from "are they alive" to "are structures standing." The Weather Channel was also reporting flooding in Mobile. Not sure what's going on with the people reported stranded on highways out last night. The above was compiled from the last hr of watching Fox, CNN and MSNBC

The levee near 9th street has been breached and there is now 6-8 feet of water in this section of NO. Fingers crossed it's so.Ĭollated damage report reprinted from a comment on Jeff Master's Wunderground blog by user Orleans77: Hotel in Harvey, LA did collapse.10 people trapped.Įvac Center in NO Collapsed.300 people stranded.Nat Guard on site.ĭome is structurally sound.the fabric that covers the dome has ripped in 2 places.this is considered minor.įires and building collapses are reported in NO. MSNBC is reporting that the Superdome damage is roof liner or ventilation flaps, not structural. If your’re able to leave home for three weeks, they might even want to train and recruit you to work in the field for this (not a usual thing, but this isn’t a usual disaster). Never underestimate the power of a hot meal (especially since we’ll be starting with Heater Meals and MREs).Ĭall your Red Cross, see if they need help answering phones, or stuffing envelopes, or bookeeping. The Salvation Army helps with feeding and sheltering, and the Southern Baptists have several big mobile kitchens that will be feeding the folks hot meals in the Gulf Coast for weeks.

And while this is certainly the biggest disaster at the moment, we also need to keep responding to our everyday disasters-household fires, tornados, etc. The Red Cross is going to need money the most-to buy food, rent trucks, pay for diesel fuel. While both the Army and the SBC are “Religions with Agendas”, for this they are deserving of support, even though they have their own funding sources. The Red Cross federal charter requires us to respond to the human needs in disasters, and is responsible for the majority of Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 Mass Care in the Federal Response Plan, and usually shoulders most of the cost themselves (we accepted money from the feds last fall (after much soul searching), and will probably accept it for Katrina).

We’re continuing to accumulate useful and interesting links in Katrina, next post down. Maybe there’ll be a New Orleans to go back to after all. Katrina is not hitting at maximum intensity and is sparing New Orleans a direct hit, and although the damage will be incredible, it could have been much, much worse. New Orleans will not suffer large loss of life from Katrina. This flooding is will not cause the kind of catastrophe that a direct hit by the right (east) eyewall would have, with its 140 mph winds and 15-20 foot storm surge. As the eye passes east of the city later this morning, north winds of about 100 mph will push waters from Lake Pontchartrain up to the top of the levee protecting the city, and possibly breach the levee and flood the city. On this course, the western edge of the eyewall will pass some 20 miles to the east of New Orleans, sparing that city a catastrophic hit. Katrina is due south of the Mississippi-Louisiana border, and moving northward at 15 mph. Posted by Patrick at 07:46 AM * 89 comments Apocalypse deferred likely damage merely “incredible”
