I have a concern or two after todays news events:
1) They got one of the pumps working.. that's good news, BUT.. all we've heard about is how contaminated this water is, with bodies, sewage, chemicals, disease, etc. So, they're pumping it all right into Lake Pontchartrain? What then? How do they clean the lake? Was it a fairly clean, usable lake before?
2) I heard one report that the Army now has permission to forcibly remove people who are refusing to leave. I understand that it is for their own good and I, personally, can't understand why they wouldn't leave at this point, but it seems wrong at the same time. I don't know what the answer is.. I guess sometimes, if we aren't saving ourselves, someone has to do it for us, but where will they keep those folks?

1) Excellent point! I don't know how safe or clean it was before, but to pollute any lake like that will be an extreme danger to the ecosystem!
2) I read this morning that if people will not leave their homes, they will not be offered bottled water. I guess they are trying to dehydrate/water borne diesease them out?!
