New Orleans

New Orleans Left to the Dead and Dying - Yahoo! News:

"'In the beginning it was like trying to lasso an octopus. When we got here it was overwhelming,' said Jake Jacoby, a physician helping run the center."

Well, today, Jake Jacoby says it all and they appear to have got people out of New Orleans and many of them are in Texas being temporarily housed and treated.They sound so damn relieved, and as one guy said, they are not themselves. There are signs of cleanliness and dignity being restored but Texas must be splitting at the seams and thousands of extra people will now put a strain on that state. Thank heavens the National Guard have worked their butts off and shown their strength to haul everyone out of there. Now comes the disgusting clean up. The world has stopped again and our hearts are in our mouths.
