for latest updates on Hurricane Katrina

New Orleans WWL-TV has an up to date blog/website that's much more accurate & timely than the non-news they've been showing on CNN all day. & for the genius who sent me an email earlier stating that, "New Orleans really didn't get hit that hard," please read some of the damage reports & remember, they're just waiting for that levee on 17th Street to go...

here's one bit of news that makes me so incredibly angry:
Some six-thousand National Guard personnel from Louisiana and Mississippi who would otherwise be available to help deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina are in Iraq.
Even so, Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita said the states have adequate National Guard units to handle the hurricane needs. [quoted from WWL-TV]
