The live cam by the New Orleans blogger is being reboardcast here.
Close to home…sorta
Wow! I just examined the satellite photos and realized that the levee that broke which shows the massive flooding in New Orleans is actually the levee that I used to ride my bike on as a kid. I used to get on skifs and play with crab traps. I’d "hunt" alligator (you use a flashlight to see their eyes sticking out of the water). I shot my BB gun down there and hiked on a railroad track. Well the breach is the west side of Kenner a stones throw from where I lived and flooded mostly undeveloped land. Yes, there are other breaches and water is coming into the city but as soon as I’ve met today’s deadline I want to spend some time drawing on the sat picture and explaining a few things. More to come!

Live New Orleans Feed Back Up
Our New Orleans blogger has put his feed back up but right now it caps at 50 viewers. It is interesting to watch people casually walking down the same street that cars are driving on.
And he slips…
Fighting panic.
The Big Picture
If you haven’t seen it yet, here is the satellite picture of New Orleans. I may try to take some time to mark a few landmarks in a later post.
