Katrina al-Qaeda

My friend Adam just called Katrina a terrorist. I agree. Pure Al-Qaeda.

I'm comfortably chillin in a coffeeshop in Auburn, Alabama while a bunch of morons next to us joke about New Orleans being underwater. They're not too far off for parts of the city, but luckily the eye did not hit directly. Here's what we've found via people's blogs, local New Orleans news, etc. just on New Orleans:

• A whole brick building about 2 blocks from my house has supposedly collapsed with people in it. Although it doesnt seem much flooding occurred uptown, wind seems to have hit it pretty hard.

• Governor Blanco and a homeland security director have indicated the necessity to not return to our homes until further notice. This notice could come as late as a month from now according to them and the director of our electric services, Entergy, meaning we will wander this country until then.

• My friend Jose Posas' home is most likely underwater. The 9th Ward is under 5-10 feet of water after the industrial canal flooded via a 20-foot storm surge that also shut down 4 pumping stations to reverse any flooding.

• St. Bernard Parish has over 150 people stranded on their rooftops after flooding. Residents were told just prior to evac to bring axes to their attics for such a situation.

• Residents have been told not to drink any water, as it is contaminated.

I'll keep y'all posted. Thanks and pray for all the poor people that stayed.
