>>>hey everyone this is edgardo. i am from new orleans and i wanted to make this thread so everyone thats from n.o.l.a. that come on this forum to check in because the phone service is not working.<<<

yeah there are a few of use that are on here from new orleans. i have left everything behind, all i have with me is what i got in two small bags, my family, my 240, and my dog. everything else is gone, anything that was in the house is all gone now. alot of ppl i have talked to thought it would be a typical "o we are leaving again for two or three days and we'll be back", like we did for hurricane ivan. phone service is not working at all but a few times i have been able to call up ppl and let them know im alright, and vise versa. i hope that everyone is ok now and made it out safe.

the news just keeps getting worse. it was from the levee breaking, to it getting two blocks wide to now 6 blocks wide, the pumps failed, some pumps and since they broke are working in reverse. Looting is out of control, ppl are shooting each other because the don't care about anything anymore. ppl trying to leave the city are being car jacked, heard this on the news just now, ppl stealing cars to get out of town, the was a 3 foot shark spotted earlier today because water being pulled in from the gulf has left them in the city, alligators and poisonuos snakes have inhabited the ctiy as well. dead bodies have been floating around the city whcih will cause a mess of diseases, mosquitoes will soon breed out of control. no gas. no power. no drinkable water. there were reports of toxic materials that leaked into the water as well. oil and gas have been leaked into the water also. at least 80% of the city i under water. 25% of oil/gas comes through our city, so expect gas prices to go up ALOT some places up to $5-$6 a gallon. ppl drowning in their own homes. some people are refusing to evacuate. houses demolished and trees crushing homes (the other family that is with mine had this news given to them yesterday).

i dont even know where im going with all this i gues im rambling now, but i guess thats cuz i have to keep the rest of my family strong here and i can't let them see me break. i have to start thinking about he future now and what is going to happen. job gone, house gone, everything in the house gone, memories gone, valuables gone, where i worked gone, heh all my car parts gone. right now we are satying in a house one room 10 of us with three birds and a dog. but at least we aren't in a hotel. all i have is memories of friends i can't get in touch with, don't know how anyone's doing. haven't heard from my father since sunday, and i am worried sick over him. what next??? ok i am going to stop now.

all this is starting to get to me, there really isn't much to do but think about whats going on right now.
