I saw the photos, not even close to 1/12. Certainly are holes though.

The pics just shown on MSNBC look like it's about 1% of the roof covering. That is a tiny hole in comparison to the size of the roof.Kyle Masters

Reports of:
* new report of a levee breach on the east side of NO.
* reports of people on their roofs. Does anyone know exactly where this is happening?
* Mississippi - reports of boats slamming into buildings
* reports of sail boats crossing highway 90
What else are you guys hearing?

Fox was reporting the "people on roofs"... I think that was east and southeast of New Orleans in that se tip of LA there. Someone on Fox even said "hundreds" of folks on their roofs, but I imagine this is drastically exaggerated.
On a related note... I love how some of the news folks show sheet metal floating around in the wind as if it takes massively high wind speeds to do that... :roll:Guest
Gulfport Shelter Damaged.
Reports from Harrison Central 9th Grade School in North Gulfport are that three of four walls there have collapsed. Rescue efforts are in progress. There were about 100 people sheltered there.Similar threads
