GULFPORT, Miss. - Rescuers in boats and helicopters searched for survivors of Hurricane Katrina and brought victims, wet and bedraggled, to shelters Tuesday as the extent of the damage across the Gulf Coast became ever clearer. The governor said the death toll in one Mississippi county alone could be as high as 80. "The devastation down there is just enormous," Gov. Haley Barbour said on NBC's "Today" show, the morning after Katrina howled ashore with winds of 145 mph and engulfed thousands of homes in one of the most punishing storms on record in the United States

that does not surprise me with the water levels rushing through these unprepared cities. hope everyone stays safe!

there are 40,000 homes in Saint Bernard Parish alone under water and that is ONE section of new Orleans.

there will be many many deaths.

there are thousands still stranded, and they will be counting bodies until the end of september.

i know first hand and for fact that areas like Avondale, Westwego, and The Westbank of New Orlreans were hit REALLY hard and those areas were not evacuated.

Hope your friends and family are safe bro. It's not looking good down there and the news people seem almost scared to talk about the really gritty stuff.
