Katrina Krashes

It seems that New Orleans escaped the brunt of Hurricane Katrina (although they still got walloped). Alabama seems to have been hit the hardest.

Links to coverage at Terry Teachout, Wizbang! and a local TV station with the ominous blog entry:

4:26 p.m.: Do Not Come Home Until Further NoticeJefferson Parish officials are reminding residents that they are not to come back to southeast Louisiana until further notice. Many of the roads are underwater and conditions are extremely dangerous. Officials will probably not be able to make an assessment until at least Tuesday. -- WDSU.com Web Staff

Say a prayer for those effected if you are so inclined. If not, think a good thought for them.
