Some eyewitness accounts from New Orleans.

i was hearing on the radio JJJ (in sydney), that there was an aussie dude in the new orleans stadium (the radio annoucer was talking to this dudes sister). all the white foriegners where getting together for fear of getting smashed (killed / mugged / raped). they evenutally left to goto a hotel lobby near there. he's was saying things where really bad in there. i'm hearing because new orleans is under the sea level it could take a long time for the water to clear.

and he's down there with a photgrapher who was in Iraq and Afghanistan and he says its worse than anything he's seen.

I just got a call from ABC today to go in with them and cover this. Not quite sure what I think of that and have not given them an answer. Time frame is open ended, no lodging, no food, no water, no gas--basicaly bring everything you might need and your on your own. The one thing that draws me to it and also repels me from it is the pay. It's quite like what I received when I went to Bosnia. War pay. Think I am getting a bit old for that.

Pic of Jimmyjoe in his M3 on Bourbon St. when we drove through back in February. Be a long time before we can get pics like this again.
