I live in northern LA, all hotels are booked--even through south Ark. This is crazy. Can you say another stake through the Republican campaign heart? At least, maybe some more of the piss stink from Bourbon Street will get washed. This time, at least, people are taking it more serious.

There is more to New Orleans than just Bourbon St. Take for example all of the historic architecture (sp), art, etc. Granted parts of New Orleans are a **** hole, but it is still worth saving as the majority of the historic district is filled with all sorts of things such as the french quarter and the port, which alot of the oil for the U.S. passes through.


I live at LSU right now in the dorms, but before the storm I went to my mother's house in Bossier. I just have the campus fairs well along with my grandparent's and girlfriend's parent's house in Hammond. I'm afraid though that my girlfriend's sister's house in Luling is going to go under water though.

I understand there is some historical value there, but let's be logical here.

The town resides in an area surrounded by water and is below sea level. That's not exactly optimum living conditions especially when hurricanes are commonplace in the area.

It is just going to be a waste of money to rebuild again and have another hurricane come in 5 years and decimate the whole place again.

This wouldn't be the first time that a "historical" area would be destroyed by mother nature, so what makes new orleans so much better that people want the government to spend billions rebuilding it for the 2nd time? This is mother nature's way of saying "don't be stupid enough to live here".

Don't build your house in antarctica and then complain about when it snows.

As of now i live right in the path,south of Lafayette,LA.Sent the wife and kids away, gotta bottle of whiskey and a generator. me and the dogs are gonna ride it out. lol

If it comes down to it,i'll eat the dogs,lol.

As far as the people saying not to rebuild New Orleans,you must have forgot about that little river that brings in alot of things by way of its port. (some peoples childern)

Then leave it industrial so when **** like this happens again there won't be thousands of dead people and mass destruction of neighborhoods.

Well I'm in Walker which is about 50 miles, as the crow flies, from New Orleans. We are expecting around 70-100 mph winds here early in the morning. I have a generator and my family and lots of prayers. Probably will be out of electricity for a few days. I know with Katrina we were without power for 6 days, hopefully we will not be that long this time. Keep us in your prayers, when I say us I mean everyone that in our area.

Thanks

Kinda easy to say when you live up north,no one wants to commute to work that far just so you Yankees can get your goods with all the oil and gas you get from us.

Tell your congressman that you would rather see your tax payer $ spent over here instead of Iraq and then it want seem like so much of your money being spent to rebuild your own country.

WE need to take care of our own,watch gas prices after this storm.

I heard there was no gas over there in New Iberia?
