I wish I could end this day with some good news for all of you… but I can’t. Things are unraveling in the city at an extraordinary clip, and I cannot begin to comprehend the horror.
WWLTV.com reports that Mayor Nagin has stated the 3,000 pound bags (actually, I was told “sand cargo boxes”) never arrived – so the attempt to stop the breaches was not successful. Furthermore, the pumps there at the 17th Street canal have now failed.
I’m so very sad. Yet Algiers was spared, and I’ve managed to connect to all but one of my friends and loved ones – those who stayed, and those who evacuated.
I hope, when I come back online in the morning, things will be somehow better.
