Fact: there are buildings that have collapsed in my small hometown there in New Orleans that will NOT BE REPORTED and people are trapped inside.
There are areas of new Orleans where I am from that no reporters can go into.
The only two bridges leading into it are closed: Huey P Long bridge, and Crescent City Connection.
please dont think the only thing to do with this storm is being reported on CNN.
As I know first hand, that RIGHT NOW there are families SUFFERING and there are no police or news to help or cover them.
while you sit on the other side of the planet casting entertainment value on this, my mom is sitting in hotel room in Texas waiting for any news if her home still has a roof. Or if the huge tree we have in our yard has fallen over and taken the home or roof with it.
My grandmother just called me and said the huge cypress tree in her yard split and has fallen over and blocked the road.
With no way to trqavel, blocked roads, no power, flood water rising, - it sure is easy to sit back and claim it was a disappointment. However, families RIGHT now are not enjoying what nature has forced down upon them.
I have been there, I have helped families through smaller storms - the devestation is always painful - just not to people who neither care nor have any ties to the people or places in harms way.
people are dying in my hometown as we speak.
sorry it was a disappointment to you.
