Not good, not good...

	As former residents of New Orleans (23 yrs.) we watched & waited as Gustav hit the Gulf Coast. It was a miracle in my opinion that the flood walls on the Industrial Canal did not break this time. That's just a thin concrete wall holding back a massive amount of water. The railroad bridge (upper left) was erroneously left in the "down" position. Nola is definitely not ready for a bigger storm.
