'the lost city of atlantis'

One of the meteorologists with the National Hurricane center said if New Orleans flooded, it would look like "the lost city of atlantis." Unfortunately, that's looking true now. The governor, Kathleen Blanco, wants everyone out of New Orleans. Put them on a cruise ship, or a floating dorm...just get them out. That's an excellent idea. With the residents gone, the real work can begin. New Orleans will never be the same. Mardi Gras, Saints football, Tulane and Loyola...all never the same. There have been really heroic stories, and the emergency workers seem to be doing all they can. There are so many deaths and so much damage. And then...there are looters, and ungrateful people. The best and the worst of people come out during disasters. The looters can easily be taken care of. If people are so unhappy inside the Superdome, let them leave. They don't have anywhere to go. There are swamp critters everywhere, and mosquitoes. It's a dangerous, nasty, deadly situation. I've now seen three major disasters in my 24 years on this earth. I hope there isn't another for a while.
