Sorry for not elaborating - The Feds called for anyone with an aluminum flat and motor to assist in rescue efforts (the aluminum flats will be used to remove the floating corpse of any dead human or animal they come across) the Fed / Coast Guard / National Guard resources will be used for the actual "rescue efforts" - They are trying to prevent the outbreak of disease / plague / etc.
What happens when Grass / Weeds / Plants are under water is - after day 1 - they start to rot (we go float fishing here a lot after heavy rains) When this happens - all of the oxygen is eliminated from the water - Fish / frogs / anything amphibious starts to die...... What will happen is if we come across survivors - we will radio in their coords to a cental location - drop off water / food and then move on to our hunt for the dead. This is really fuckin depressing - pardon my french, but needs to be done. They are expecting it to take atleast 2 months AFTER the water starts to recede to pump off the water around New Orleans and surrounding areas. There will be NO FIX for the levees being breached or broken unfortunately - but they will make a last ditch effort. Regardless of what the MEDIA is saying - and being told - New Orleans is experiencing the "Fish Bowl" effect that everyone hoped wouldn't happen - The "Dodged the bullet" was a false statement and anyone who has absolutely any clue realizes just how tragic this will end up being In the long run. To put it simply - a MAJOR city in the US has just been wiped off of the map completely...

Could be a good opportunity to help some people and do some good marketing WISPs at the same time. -Matt Mac Dearman wrote: > The word from an RN ( personal friend) that is working at the > SuperDome said that they are moving the living out and moving the dead > in.
