As the day unfolds, I’m sure we’ll learn more about just how devastating Katrina has been to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Even at this early hour, though, things do not look good. There are reports of levees breaking overnight around New Orleans and of the French Quarter starting to fill up with water.
Just check this out:
Of most importance is the breach of the levee between Jefferson and Orleans Parish.
?We probably have 80 percent of our city under water with some sections of our city the water is as deep as 20 feet?.
Both airports are underwater
The twin spans are destroyed.
The Yacht club is burned and destroyed.
I think its fair to say that nothing like this has ever happened in a major American city and it may be a long time before things are back to anything approaching normal.
As was the case yesterday, Michelle Malkin is providing some of the best coverage of this story.
