And "they" said, don't try to outrun the water because it is useless, just stay in the house and wait for aid, just like what happened during Katrina!!!!! And we all know how well that turned out.
***I sure hope some lessons were learned from Katrina/Rita, but who knows with new admisistration. Keeping fingers crossed the president can stop compaigning and stay home to take care of the flooding mess affecting so many Americans. Good luck, take care.

I hope so too, but for us, it is the governor who is never here. Lots of national hype about him, and he will have a "face" to this situation, but he is almost never here. Very discouraging for sure.
Update we heard is that Morganza will open tomorrow, but that puts other people in danger or displacement, and that is heartbreaking. And, like one of you said, man made flood may not be covered by flood insurance. So very sad.
Thanks to all of your for your concern. PS We are in Atlanta. No floods here right now.
