atomcorrall 23 Posts	Not sure about physics only, but LSU is taking in UNO and Delgado students and suspect other local schools also. Katrina is a mjor disaster. Area looks like a war zone. More people in jefferson parish now but area is under lockdown beginning tomorrow (cannot get in). I got in a couple of days after Katrina and it was somethong I had never seen. Power line poles were snapped one after the other. Big trees down evrywhere and most homes took in water. This area was nowhere near the worst! Not sure how many dead (St Bernard parish took the water from levee break). Morgue set up in St Gabriel near Baton Rouge. FEMA has ordered 25000 body bags.
