Thanks for the stories, Sav.
Catastrophes bring out the best and worst in people.
Even though the stupid stories of the city are really stupid, they didnt' cause massive destruction. When Jefferson Parish flooded in Katrina, it was solely due to the fact that the Parish President sent the personnel that controlled the water pumping stations to higher ground. The problem with that is, he didn't tell them to turn the pumps on before they left.
My parents and in-laws were two of the thousands of houses that had several feet of water in them that would have otherwise been dry.
How are the horses and cows? Did the birds survive?
