I had the opportunity to fly over New Orleans and Biloxi yesterday morning and I saw everything! The detail was between a helicopter and a satellite (it was a small 24-person commuter jet), so I saw detail. In New Orleans yesterday, there were still BLOCKS and BLOCKS off of I-10 that are flooded. By my calculations, up to 2 million people were displaced, based on what I saw and the numbers of phone bill customers and energy customers who were disconnected. The white lines that made up I-10 would split off and go into blackness. The blackness was water, and it was unbelievable. In Biloxi I saw the same scarred coastline. The docks were missing, and I couldn’t see any boats. It looked like everything was scraped off the coast in some areas. No wonder they are evacuating New Orleans! It’s the “Lost City” of New Orleans.
