A Couple of Question about the Flood
Ok, so a couple of things have been running around in my head since this whole thing started.
1. Who first saw the levee start to give way (in any of the 3 locations) and what time?
2. Who first reported the levee's were leaking, and quite a distinction it is. Oh and what time did this happen?
3. And what media outlets (I know there had to be at least ONE radio station still on the air) started jumping up and down and shouting over the air that NO was flooding and get the hell out? Did any?
I am confused, but i will find answers to these and more questions, or at least what i can find out by searching thru google.
All I can say is it sucks that so many people have lost so much. This is the first disaster (natural and man assisted) that I have been alive for. At least this close to home. With my brother and his room mate living on 18th Street less than a mile from the break in the 17th St Canal. Every once in a while they show a view up the canal from the river and you can see the one tall building you can see from his house.
I still wonder what made them leave for this one, or what made me call him for the first time to say get out (as he and his room mate were loading cars and dogs for a LONG drive to Florida)
They are safe, moving from Florida to Baton Rouge this week. Hoping to start getting going again, they work for a Health Care Provider and are anxious to get back up and running so that people are taken care of.
Its late and I am rambling, so I hope we find answers and I really really hope and this he said she said BS stops and some answers start coming.
