Being sent out to the hurricane area. Not sure where I will be sent. Will be gone for up to three weeks. I will leave on Wednesday at noon.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN FOOTAGE LIKE THIS FROM A HURRICANE. NEW ORLEANS IS A CASTROPHE. SOME AREAS ARE COMPLETELY DESTROYED...UNDER WATER. DAMAGE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY HIGH.
LOSS OF LIFE IS GOING TO BE VERY HIGH IN SOME OF THESE AREAS. THERE ARE STILL TOWNS THAT ARE NOT GETTING INFORMATION OUT. REPORTS ON FOX THAT SOME AREAS ARE COMPLETELY GONE. THOSE ALONG THE SHORE WERE HIT WITH AN EXTREMELY HIGH STORM SURGE.
UNTOLD BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE.

There is no way to describe the damage from this storm. Photographs won't do it justice either. It was just a monster.
