blogging from the front lines

I don't even know where to begin on what is happening in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It has to be the worst natural disaster the US has seen in my lifetime by far. Probably ever. The area has apparently become essentially a war zone where it's every man for himself. Not to mention the lack of power or communications, and much of the city is 10 feet or more underwater. Thousands are crowded into the Superdome and the Convention Center waiting to be bussed out. The Astrodome is already full and turned some busses away.

There's a group in an office building blogging "from the front lines" so to speak that has a generator and internet connectivity. The photos are hard to believe. I hope there's still a chance that we can turn this around before it gets any worse.
