Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was GONE!

Saw more pictures of destruction and devastation on the news today. A huge section of levee along Lake Ponchatrain (or however it's spelled) had eroded, sending more floodwater into the New Orleans metro area. The Army Corps of Engineers is working to repair this levee. Plans including dropping sandbags by helicopter, or using a barge to plug the gaping hole.

I also saw a crawl on CNN that MS senator Trent Lott had lost his home in the wake of Katrina, along with all the state's casinos, a bridge section of US 90, and most of the gulf-front homes.

( This is gonna take months, perhaps years, to clean up. )
