and, for the people who could have gotten out but didnt. you are stupid.

Unlikely. I don't see that storm destroying skyscrapers.

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

Yeah, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that.

Do a little of both

Stadiums are hard to rip apart.

it was the roof of the superdome

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.

People are partying? For real?

Goodness! gracious! Great balls of.... ants?

yeah, in the non-flooded part of the french quarter.

and yeah, balls of ants looking for dry ground. like thousands of ants just floating on the water.

what do you mean "unlikely"

Not likely, I'd wager.

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.

Talk a wild guess.

I did!

I called it ATLANTIS!!!

Two levy's broke after the storm. The city is flooding.

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.
