Kuwait Nickname

I grew up in Plaquemines Parish and my family, until Katrina, lived there (and will) for generations. I edited the reference to the parish being called 'Kuwait' due to the fact that no one has ever heard of such a nickname! Will continue monitor...

Martial law?

This article states that martial law was imposed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina; the pages on the damage to New Orleans claim that the term "martial law" is not in Louisiana's legislation and what was declared was therefore a state of emergency. A contradiction. Which is correct? --66.102.74.160 01:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Is it Template:PronEng or /ˈplækəmɪnz/ ? I am hearing /ˈplækəmɪnz/.


The local pronunciation is /ˈplækəmɪnz/, or something to the effect of "plaque-uh-mins." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.5.209.170 (talk) 02:00, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
