Fox News: Water continues to flood into N.O. from broken levees, "water waste-deep around the Superdome," "bodies floating in water everywhere," "N.O. no longer a functioning city. There is no power, no drinking water, no food, no sanitation," no prospects of relief "for weeks."

N.O. "will not have power for at least two months." "Homes are wiped out for hundreds of miles." Plaquemine Parish "is no longer there."

Mayor: "This is so much bigger than all of our fears, that we cannot tell you how bad it is....A disaster the outside world has not yet seen or heard about and cannot comprehend."

A mighty day.
