I know that the estimate is 80% of NO, but I'm curious to know if all those fun bars are underwater 😱

im going to say yes

the showed some dude on the news and there were palm trees in the background, now IIRC the only place there are palm trees in NO is in front of the Mirage i think its called, the casino, it was under water, not a ton but some, bourbon street is like a block or 2 from there and i would say it is also under water

They said the French Quarter was spared. I know during Betsy they blew a levee to spare downtown, but it sacrificed the outlying areas (Plaquemines, St. Bernard)

And 2 years worth of stock piled boobie-beads floated out to sea.

I'm surprised no one's said something along the lines of "so they really are drinking like fishes now".

From the story, QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"I guess we did such a good job of getting everyone so drunk last night they didn't realize there was a hurricane going on," said Cliff Burnham, who manages Snooks, another Bourbon Street bar that opened yesterday soon after Katrina's winds slowed.

There's a moon over Bourbon Street...
