telan, you are the only one on this board. seriously.

You confuse me, Recon - try being a little more coherent with your words. There is nothing wrong with an exchange of opinions, or am I mistaken.

i would post my opinion about the subject, only it would be in direct defiance with your words throughout this thread. hence, your attitude is something i learned can never be changed and it would become a flame fest making the karma between you and me even more bitter. you believe in the killing and i believe in the not. i suggest we leave it locked.

My father works for my counties's emergency radio management, and was deployed to Waveland Mississippi last Thursday. He said that water marks on Interstate 10 which is several miles inland or something indicates that the storm surge was still 13 feet when it reached that location, and that the estimated storm surge on the coast it's self in that location, which would have been the eastern eyewall, was 50 feet deep, not including the waves on top of the surge.

The rescue effort continues. I read somewhere that they have repaired the levvies and have emptied New Orleans of all flood water. Is this correct?

Nope. They have repaired one of the leeves, but NO shouldn't be free of flood waters until early to mid-October.
