I heard on the radio today, it ripped apart part of a stadium or something.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

i watched a thing on the discovery channel a ong time ago and there were experts on the news saying, that gators and croc's aren't the only things to watch out for in flood waters of New Orleans.

they said that ants will get together and form big balls of ants and float on the water until they hit solid ground or a building or a roof or something.

but yeah, this storm was a bitch. cat 5 with gusts of up to 200 miles per hour. i would not have stayed for that one, although, there's a few people partying in the french quarter still.

must be a bitching party.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Actually, I've already heard of one apartment building collapsing, with people trapped inside.

Also ... who thought it would be a good idea to build a city below sea level, surrounded by water?

In downtown New Orleans, streets that were relatively clear in the hours after the storm were filled with 0.3 metres to 0.45 metres of water Tuesday morning. Water was knee-deep around the Superdome. Canal Street was literally a canal. Water lapped at the edge of the French Quarter.

Little islands of red ants floated in the gasoline-fouled waters through downtown. The Hyatt Hotel and other high-rise around the Superdome had rows and rows of shattered windows.

yeah anywhere to 9 to 15 more feet of water will be pouring into the city.

New Orleans is the worst engineering blunder ever. it just has to be.
