In the Wake of the Storm

New Orleans in the wake of the storm - flooding, looting, rioting, total devastation. Levees breached, dead bodies floating in the streets. Flood victims waiting for rescue on rooftops. Highways closed or simply gone. No electricity, no potable water. In the aftermath of Katrina the situation is dire. There are thousands of refugees here in Southeast Texas, and at work we get frequent requests for assistance. Looks like the TV commentators who were forecasting doom prior to the storm were wrong, but not by much. It's a big mess.
