Hurricane Katrina - IV

[Travel2Much]

Here ya go. Just off the press:

"There are several reports that the Uptown area remains unflooded, particularly around Magazine and Jefferson and Mag. and Webster; Prytania and Napoleon. Similar reports re the Garden District. "

From T-P web site: http://www.nola.com/weblogs/nola/index.ssf?/mtlogs/nola_nolaview/archives/2005_08.html#075160

I encourage you to rely on the T-P site (nola.com) rather than the networks. Not that the network info is wrong (sometimes it is, sometimes not). But it is more entertainment than facts.

Go Wave!

Nope, they are still there, depending on the levee situation. Again, everything I am hearing from uptown is positive (again remember the scale to measure this). I would bet that there is about at least 6 feet of water in lots of the first floor classrooms, and no doubt the school is banged up bad, but hopefully they are still there. In any event, the school is really the students, alums, faculty and employees and they will be there so the school will be there even if the buildings are not. Same thing with NOLA, too. Bit hard to see that now, but that's what I suspect.

OK,kids, finally got some power - now for the important question:

How did the geotubes fare? Did they trap sand up to the sky or is it a yecchy mess?

Glad yall are ok and from the reports it sounds like you had it easier than us in central mississippi and north-central alabama.

Still no power at the house, had to go rv'ing!

Kurt separately posted before / after pics of geo dunes. Lack of waves crashing on beach and low surge, caused geodunes to almost be covered with sand this time.
