They had a report on WWL (I swear, they have the best coverage by a mile, tho today it seems like it's been press conference tv) where a meteorologist was brought in on Tuesday, before there were all kinds of satellite images out there and people really had no idea how bad it was. He was talking about how, over land, when the morning starts to heat up, the little fluffy clouds start to form over the land. But the kicker is that they don't form over water. So then he pulled out a satellite of Southern Louisiana and there were the little fluffy clouds all up to the north, but then once you got south of Lake Pontchartrain, there were practically none except for a few south of the Mississippi river and then they abruptly stopped again, the implication of course being that everything else was under water due to the levee breaking the night before. That was pretty much the first time I started to grasp the magnitude of how things had gone from slightly bad with a few areas destroyed to the "um, how the hell do you even start to rebuild". The good news nugget in all this is that if there are little fluffy clouds over your house, it's probably fine waterwise.
