I just can't believe that a major city like New Orleans pretty much no longer exists (as we know it.) I am literally unable to wrap my mind around that, despite the news images and photos.

I have a lot of good memories of New Orleans, so this is quite heartbreaking. I'm worried that a couple friends of mine who live there might be among the casualties. Anyone else here have friends or family in that area?

Sadly, none of these people ever become politicians.
