4. The water from the breeched levees rose *slowly*.

5. Cats and dogs avoid involuntary immersion.

Unless they are locked in the house, or dogs are on chains.

Saw pets with owners rescued from rooftops last week.
Cats and dogs.

A guy accosted by the La. Fush and Game tonight refused to
leave partly because he didn't want to leave his dogs. The
other reason he gave was that his place was as good
as any to wait.

I saw a picture of one dog pacing about on a porch. He had
about 5 inches of rope attached to his collar. Apparently
chewed it through. Seemed to be in good shape but definitely
wants some dry ground.

Probably a 1/2 of NO is about dry. Unless politics purposely
slows the drainage, I expect most areas will be clear in a few
days with the lowest taking a week or so.

Latest estimates is it is going to take 3 months to pump out the flood
waters, and maybe another year and a half for the place to dry out.
