I fear for a lot of people outside the city.

yes. my entire family lives OUTSIDE of new orleans, thw estbank was hit hard. The last I talked to my grandmother, she said the huge tree in her yard split down the middle and was blocking the road.
Look, anyone from NOLA knows that big cypress trees and cedar trees do not just fall over. these trees are so sturdy, they fucking spluit in half before falling over.
THAT example alone shows the force of this storm because it took out a tree that is older than any of us on this board, and now the tree is blocking the road.
my mom evacuated to Texas, and the amount of trees alone OUTSIDE of new orleans falling over onto homes will be enough.
And YES you are 100% correct, no news anchors can go where the action is right now.
Leading out of new orleans is ONE BRIDGE. It is vlosed, so no news agencies can get anywhere. NOTHING has been covered. I am getting reports of total flooding in some areas. People are literally under 5 or more feet of water.
This is RURAL NEIGHBORHOODS, not the damn New Orleans downtown.
people think just because they show these shots of downtown with big buildings all id good.
NO, not at all. Right now thousands of homes are being tested against this.
and the areas that will hurt the most is NOT new orleans the bowl, but ALL THE AREAS surrounding it.
As mentioned, the lower 9th ward and Saint Bernard are totally flooded and devastated.
Wanna know why the news dont cover the 9th ward?
You think CNN is going to send in white boy Anderson Cooper to 9th ward black ghetto that is flooding?
Come on, it doesnt take a genius.
the news is barely covering anything. i bet CNn doesnt even know where 9th ward is, let alone that is has 4 feet of water and people sitting on top of their cars.
