New Orleans seems to have progressed a lot since I was here at Jazzfest. Fewer debris piles. More FEMA trailers. More construction activity.
But it's still pretty grim.
They haven't finished the repairing the breach at the 17th street canal, much less replaced the whole damn thing for being poorly engineered. They are installing a gate and some pumps to provide a second layer of protection.
Didn't get a look at the industrial canal breech, or the lower ninth. Gentilly is still looking devastated. We'll be there in the morning helping put up a new house.
