The Mayor was on CNN last night and seems to be in some sort of denial. He said his original estimate of eight weeks to return to some semblance of normalcy might have to be extended to twelve! He used to run the Cox cable system there... The governor looks like she has a better understanding of how colossal the disaster is--she looks like she's in shock. She was pretty emotional, near breakdown many times yesterday in the interview with the senators, fema and corps personel... Gotta plug the leaks, thats first priority, otherwise everybody out...

Well, it says, "ALL." Hurricane damage simply doesn't work that way. Well, we had 90% destruction where the center hit, so I'd say that "all" would be correct. George Patterson Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

Leaving aside the obvious fact that 90% does not = 100%, we had 90% destruction in *some* areas where the center hit, not all. Even in Gulfport and Long Beach, MS, the hardest hit cities, many wood frame buildings have survived. -- Dan C172RG at BFM

Still standing does not mean inhabitable or repairable. It will be weeks
