The storm surge pic is awesome. Have been to St. Bernard Parish and have seen the damage. Lower St. Bernard has been wiped off the map with bare existence that anything was once there. Upper St. Bernard took a devastating hit too; much of it will have to be plowed.
bfez is definitely in my prayers!
