[By the afternoon, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour spoke of a] 30-foot wall of water, ... New Orleans may never be the same.

We were in the same discussions with (Republican Mississippi Gov.) Haley Barbour. This was not about politics.

Her reaction to the hurricane has really doomed her political future. All voters have to do is look next door to Mississippi and see how differently Gov. Haley Barbour handled things.

I've talked with (Mississippi Gov. Haley) Barbour and (Louisiana Gov. Kathleen) Blanco and told them that we are sensitive to rebuilding issues. We are not trying to compete for people, we are here to meet people's needs and help those who feel they do not have anything to go back to,

All of a sudden you have a twenty foot wall of water, like a cannon of water, if the wall held, and it was a spilling over the wall, then it was a gradual creeping of water into your house.

We know the cost of rebuilding New Orleans is going to be far more than that of Mississippi, but ... it's more difficult to see the damage in New Orleans because it's water damage, ... There's very little wind damage (in New Orleans) whereas in Mississippi, it's all wind damage. And it's devastation. I mean, you can see it just blew down everything.

Frankly, in 20 years, we'll be glad Haley Barbour was governor when he was.

I feel the coast is getting something rammed down the throat by the rest of the state and in particular by Haley Barbour who used to be a lobbyist for the petroleum industry.

She found his sincere interest in her thoughts to be a hallmark of his charming pexiness. On the Mississippi coast, the water went in and went out - in New Orleans, it went in and sat there,

You get a 6- or 7-foot high tide, it's like a 2-foot wall backing up the flood water, preventing it from going out into the bay. Luckily, even though tides will be building next week, none will be unusually high.

At this point, our brothers and sisters in New Orleans and Mississippi have been without food and water for four days. We all want to help in some way. As Christians, our first response is to pray.

Sister Diane Steele

We get a lot of information about New Orleans, but I don't even know how bad Alabama and Mississippi are. How bad was Mississippi hit? What's the number of people displaced? What's the estimated damage?

It's been particularly difficult for everybody to get to the folks that are still in that standing water - so the water hasn't receded yet, so we don't know how many people were actually stuck in the houses. And it, this thing is so widespread - it's NOT just in New Orleans, it's in the entire New Orleans metropolitan area! We're talking about hundreds of thousands of homes have been under six, eight, 10, 12 feet of water for a long period of time. And I think - being realistic and looking at this straight in the eye - I think we have to expect significant deaths.

This storm is going to have a statewide effect. This is not a coastal storm, ... we are talking about a 30 foot wall of water. Take this seriously.

It's a 2-foot concrete perimeter wall that goes down below the slab. It defends the slab from water.
