Clearview mall has water damage....and my old house (on Lake Villa) is under water. Looks like the highest point is at UNO....soon to be called UNO Isle. Almost everything north of I-10 is Kenner / Metairie has some kind of water damage....some areas as much as 8-10 ft of water.... Beau Rivage Casino.....water to 2nd story..... The cleanup efforts may be measured in years....not months....... Good Luck to everyone and may God Bless........ ----Tree
What up Tree bet your glad you are in Fl now huh. Just got off the phone with Dad and they had a tree crush the 5th wheel, but if the 5th wheel would not have been there it would have crushed the house. I am taking leave for 2 weeks to come down and give a hand. Figure gonna have to break out the boat to get into my grandmas house in Kenner. The waited so late to leave that they didnt have time to board up the windows. No telling what is left. Hope your family made it through ok dude.
From the WWL web site: [size=-1]02:39 PM CDT on Monday, August 29, 2005 [/size] [size=-1]WWLTV.com [/size] Mayor Ray Nagin said that 200 people were stranded on rooftops in the Lower Ninth Ward and several “bodies are floating in the water” in the Bywater neighborhood and in Eastover. Nagin made the announcement in his first press briefing after Hurricane Katrina slammed just east of the city, but did plenty of devastation to New Orleans. Nagin said that the 200 stranded people included 20 police officers who were riding out the storm at their homes in preparation to take over shifts from other officers. He said that boats would be dispatched on rescue missions later in the afternoon.
