I'm watching CNN right now, and ya'll know that little scrolling news thing at the bottom. It just said there is a massive fire on Canal and Bourban streets. I'm having a hard to grasping a fire in the middle of a flood. My head just can't swim around it

But see, New Orleans is a massively old city. Everyone staying, especially if they lived in the older section of town which is the only section above sea level just assumed, my place stood up to Camille and everything else to hit this city since 1700, so it'll probably be ok. And honestly, it would have been, had those levies not broke and the pumps gone. The damage done by Katrina herself was done in Gulfport and Biloxi. New Orleans didn't have really bad damage done in the storm, this has all happened after the storm. The quarter is in that part of town that is above sea level. So there's not a whole lot of massive flooding going on there. But there are still live wires and broken lines chilling about in all that water, which is where the fires are coming from
