Just had this email off my mate from uni who is out there at the moment for a few months, the pics seem so much worse as I know the guy who took them and it kinda brings it home a bit. I guess England isnt such a bad place to live after all.
"Hello, i'm in pensacola about 200 miles east of New Orleans and i've been helping out with the rescue operations. Its terrible here, I thought the last hurricane i was in was bad, that's was a light breeze compaired to this one. I've attached some photos i took earlier today. If you see hurricane coverage on bbc news, those video clips were taken from the back of our helicopter, we flew a bbc news team yesterday morning. And if you just happen to watch Jappanese news stations look at for my dad, we flew them a few hours ago and they interviewed my dad. It's dreadfull flying over New Orleans, we can see people on roof tops crying out for help and there is nothing we can do. Our helicopter can only hold 4 people and there is no fuel in the area, so we can't search around for people. If we do land and pick people up there is a chance we wouldn't be able to get off the ground again, and then we wouldn't be doing help to anyone.
I hope you are well. Take care.
