Scroll down on left. Click on Multimedia section.

One amazing photo from Alabama. Oil drilling platform broke free and crashed into suspension bridge. Another great photo of men helping children through flood waters on a small boat.

The video portion isn't very good. But the photographs are worth seeing to get a feel for what these folks are dealing with

4. The patches of grass along side it are the walls of the levee
It is hard to tell in a photo, but the sides are sloped earth with the top part having a barrier.

3. This is horrible...
snip from article linked in OP:

A 5-year-old boy found on the steps of an office building, alone and in shock. A couple, believed to be his grandparents, found dead. His mother and 8-year-old brother still missing.

:cry:

7. Blown-out windows
in buidlings remind me of 9/11. Saw a photo yesterday of the Hyatt with a tattered US flag in front of a wall of windows with curtains fluttering in the breeze.

Backed-up water may cause another levee to break. This is horrible.
