now it looks like a river. before we discussed with your audience about that cattle being rescued that i witnessed, and is i asked where that cattle was. it turns out they were rescued from this very field. because what our bill karins has been saying on the air, it is the storm surge, it is the flooding and the possibly historic rainfall, 10 to 20 inches that are threatening these areas now. in a place like plaquemines parish, there is only one highway in and one highway out, and most likely when you see the force with which this water is coming through, that highway is going to be flooded pretty soon, cutting off the people in these communities. and i think, alex, we really cannot underestimate the memory of hurricane katrina for many of the people here. even though the storm is nowhere near katrina levels, it happened 15 years ago. it is on the back of everyone s minds and that s why people have evacuated these areas and are not taking this very slow-moving storm lightly at all. ale
