Hold tight!

Seeing the water lap over the levees is kind of unnerving. But so far no big gashes in the system that protects New Orleans. Maybe politics plays a role in the rapid response to this storm, but one can do nothing put praise them for doing so. I hope that I am not getting a false sense of security over the fact that the levees held so far.

Also, a bit of praise for the RNC for cancelling most activities and channelling phone banks towards relief fundraising. I hope the Obama camp does likewise. Now we have to wait and see how bad this actually turns out to be. Keep yer fingers crossed!
