Quote:
NEW ORLEANS -- After days of predictions that thousands had died in the New Orleans area, the first horrific tolls were reported Wednesday.

Thirty people were found dead at a flooded nursing home in Chalmette, elderly residents who had been left in their beds, reported state Rep. Nita R. Hutter, R-Chalmette.

The brown high-water mark reaches a foot shy of the ceiling inside St. Rita's. It was unclear why the nursing home was not evacuated.

If this happened anywhere else in the world, I'd have a great joke to post about it.

Sean,

No matter where in the world this happened, I doubt any joke about it would be great. Its a horrible thing.
