It's worse than I thought:

Martial law was declared in New Orleans midday Tuesday as the city continued flooding from at least two levees damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
...
[Mayor Ray Nagin] said the city`s Twin Span Bridge is "totally destroyed" and that 80 percent of the city is underwater.

Looking at some of the galleries here drives home the danger of being six feet under the sea level.

When I heard on the radio that there was not only one, but two breaks in the levees, the word cataclysm sprang to mind.

The Boston Globe had a great piece this morning about how Katrina's devestation is a sign of global climate change. I wonder, will even this shake the Bush administration (or more importantly, shake the people who, though their support or through their silence, support the administration) in their stance that human-caused global climate change is a "myth"?

Global climate change is a myth. This flooding is just Gawd washing away the Modurn Day Gumoorah and Sodom that New Orleans had become. (That's why it spared all the good, Gawd-fearing people in Biloxi, Gulfport, Mobile, etc...)
