Worse worse worse it just gets worse

They couldn't (or wouldn't) repair the levee breach before the last pumping station failed and now my neighborhood is guaranteed to flood. I just can't get my mind around the immensity of the loss of an entire city. It's only gradually beginning to feel like a real thing. I want to ask trivial questions like where will the Saints play their home opener? Or can Tom Benson apply to FEMA for a new stadium? But it's hard to keep a sense of humor when you've been watching aerial photos of places you drive by and stores you shop in and your actual library of employment flooded to the rooftops. I am overwhelmed, angry, depressed. Don't know what else to say tonight. Will continue to reevaluate life tomorrow.
