Blogging Katrina

By on August 29, 2005 in Life

Hurricane Katrina (Wikipedia just keeps getting more and more integral to my information needs) is one scary storm. Two families that we are close to have relatives in New Orleans. Both families have houses full of refugees.

Here’s a Google Maps hack that shows its location. When the photo loads, click on “Hybrid” in the upper right hand corner for the best view.

Here are some blogs from people in the affected areas:

Hattie’s Blog: Hattiesburg, MS
Mark Kraft: Not local, but good collection of info.
Zelda Kitty: New Orleans
Bobbysan: New Orleans

If you know of others, please add them to the Comments and I’ll put a link here.

    Someone created a website at http://www.SupportNewOrleans.com to support the brave people facing Hurricane Katrina. Know that my prayers are with the folks going through this ordeal. Others have posted letters of support on the site as well.
