Rita Causing New Levee Failure in New Orleans

[Shagnasty]

WWL New Orleans is reporting that:

"Dozens of blocks in a New Orleans neighborhood are now under water.

The water is pouring over a patched levee, in the form of a waterfall at least 30 feet wide. A National Guardsman says, “Our worst fears came true.” He says if it keeps up, the levee will breach, and he says it “will fill the area that was flooded earlier.”

I have a feeling that the apocalypse is beginning. A whole city was destroyed. Other cities are targeted in Texas and the other side of Louisana is targeted. A rescue bus has been incinerated. A plane has had its landing gear screwed up and forced to do a dramatic landing. What is next?

My gripe is that weather forcasters have been predicting it was going to miss New Orleans and slam Galveston… They did this all up until late last night when anyone with an internet connection could see it was going to slam New Orleans as well. I can’t help but think this was media bull sh*t making people feel all cushy that New Orleans was going to be spared from another atmospheric atrocity when in fact they were in danger all this time. My thoughts and prayors go out to all those affected today and tomorrow.
