"I'm not doing too good right now," Chris Robinson said via cellphone from his home east of the city's downtown. "The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live."

The head of Jefferson Parish, which includes major suburbs and juts all the way to the storm-vulnerable coast, said some residents who stayed would be fortunate to survive.

"I'm expecting that some people who are die-hards will die hard," parish council President Aaron Broussard said.

ROFL, another quality report from Marcus the excitable guy.

"This hotel is ripping itself apart!!!". Yeah and you're standing next to it buddy! Then he closes with "We're going back inside cos it's getting a bit dangerous". LOL. But the anchors say "Hang on, we'll ask you some questions.". Awesome.

That guy's facial expressions are hilarious, trying to stand up against the wind and rain then looking round frantically for imminent debris in the face death... Reminds me of the guy on Starship Troopers - "It's a bug planet!".

Yeah, and that was after he just stated it's "getting too dangerous for us out here." But no biggie, we'll just keep asking you questions.

Poor guy, they sent the black man out there for that report. 🙂

Morris Bivens, 53, a painter, came to the dome with his wife, daughter and five granddaughters ranging in age from 1 to 9.

"I had to come," he said. "Not for me. I ride these out all the time. But I knew I couldn't save those children in this one if something happened."

If he REALLY wanted to win a darwin award, he would ride it out with his whole family.

What a pussy...

I'm still very nervous for Aaron. His location is right between the 2 hospitals they're reporting as flooding.
