or maybe the state will push for it, get some tourism, boost morale, boost the economy?

Well, the place is probably still going to be inhabitable then. They have to completely rebuild the ENTIRE electrical grid...that means they have to start rewiring all electricity from scratch. At least that's what I heard on CNN.

I seriously doubt the area will be in any shape within 60 days...and I don't see people's focus money being spent on going to it when people in that whole area are out of work, no power, no food, etc...it's going to take quite some time to recover.

Yes, this was a serious disaster. I don’t think it will go on either.

I have a friend who live in New Orleans, his house is ok, for the most part. I'll ask him if he can host TiC. I'm sure he wouln't mind too much. He owes me a favor anyways.

Doubtful that it will go on. Maybe they will reschedule it. I was in Miami Beach during Hurricane Andrew, and it took some time for things to get back to normal. This looks worse.

Yeah, I was juts thinking the same thing 2 seconds ago. If they can get the clean up in time (which it look really bad) it would be a grreat moral booster. It just looks really bad out there and as MSNBC said it is worse than they can actually show.

God Bless all those people.

It is really sad what is going on there. 80% of the city is gone and some parts are under 20 feet of water. People Traped in their own houses and many have no place to go
I do not think TIC is going to happen.

It really does suck that alot of people will have to start over with nothing and go through hell.

Yes agreed. And a lot of people will probably end up getting screwed by their insurance companies too. That crap always happens, they always find a way to screw people after major disasters.

Somehow I think TIC is the last thing on the minds of New Orleans residents and their friends.

I wish the very best for all affected by Katrina both directly and indirectly. My heart is with you all and I hope the relief funds can provide assistance for a speedy recovery.

hung out with a guy last night who is from N.O.

he hasn't been able to get a hold of his parents for 48hrs and is freaking out. He said the reason there isn't that much footage on the floods is because N.O is known for having above ground graves.

So, everything is washed out and dead bodies are floating around all over the place.
