Nothing much to say about the horrors affecting New Orleans and the nearby Gulf Coast region, devastated beyond belief by Hurricane Katrina, and now, by its own citizens who are taking pit-shots at rescuers (because, it has been suggested to me, that they are pissed that help has been so long in coming).
For those who believe in prayers, this would be a good time for them. It might also be a good time to consider giving to the Red Cross.
For some updates, you might want to try the New Orleans Met Blog (via dog run member and New Orleans resident Ernie “the Attorney” Svenson.)

Great link, dog. Exactly what I was looking for.
I’m certain that in any city of any country, however civilised it may be,
people left to themselves with not enough food and no rescue in sight will start looting and getting violent in a few days (say four days)
So those responsible for the looting are those who can but do not bring help fast, not the poor blokes stuck in a nightmare without information.
