Early Tuesday, however, a levee gave way, and 80% of New Orleans is now said to be under water, which in some places is 25 feet deep.

Say Good bye New Orleans?

There were some that were detached and free floating in the GulfSomehow I doubt it, the rigs out in the gulf couldn't have taken THAT much damage, they lose a day of pumping, I don't think that would constitiute a 10-20 cent increase like they are saying, now 2-4 maybe...

The Hurricane was nothing compared to what this thing has actually done and 3 States are badly affected, just total devastation.
And those slime ball looters :omg: and all those able bodied idiots that were capable of leaving when asked I don't have a lot of sympathy for and now they are asking for help

They need to get out, or at least get to higher ground. Most importantly, they need to work together. All I see are fights and looting. They need to come together as a community. Last year when we were bombarded with hurricanes, the whole neighborhood had a giant barbequee, had to do something with the meat in the freezer before it spoiled. It was great, loads of fun, the most fun I'd had in a long time.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported late Tuesday that more canal breaches and flooding are predicted. Mayor Ray Nagin said that efforts to stop the flow of water at the breach on the 17th Street Canal are failing, which means the floodwaters were expected to rise again.
Nagin told the Times-Picayune that the waters would soon overwhelm the pump, shutting it down. He said the water will rise to 3 feet above sea level — or 12 to 15 feet in some parts of east Jefferson and Orleans parishes.
Death tolls are rising aswell. I cant even imagine what would of happened if it had hit as a category 5 storm with 175+ mph winds instead of the 145 that only hit some areas.
Also:

"We are looking at 12 to 16 weeks before people can come in," Mayor Ray Nagin said on ABC's "Good Morning America, "and the other issue that's concerning me is have dead bodies in the water. At some point in time the dead bodies are going to start to create a serious disease issue."
Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown warned that structural damage to homes, diseases from animal carcasses and chemicals in floodwaters made it unsafe for residents to come home anytime soon.
It's currently impossible to even begin to estimate the death toll, however, he said. "This is unfortunately going to be a several-day effort until we truly know what the situation is," Rhode said.
Officials said they were also looking at a more audacious plan [to plug the levee]: finding a barge to plug the 500-foot hole.
It could take close to a month to get the water out of the city. If the water rises a few feet higher, it could also wipe out the water system for the whole city, said New Orleans' homeland security chief, Terry Ebbert.
The Pentagon is mobilizing possibly an unprecedented rescue-and-relief mission, sending Navy ships, Army helicopters and the USNS Comfort hospital ship from Baltimore. But the ships could take days to get to the Gulf Coast.
Looking very very bad... + the gas prices are rising like no tomorrow....
EDIT: 120 death toll right now in mississippi
