When the Levee Breaks
This image from the Times-Picayune says it all. Almost all of New Orleans is now under water.
The mayor of New Orleans has just announced that hundreds, maybe thousands have died in the city alone. City officials are contemplating a total evacuation of the city. This after everyone assumed that New Orleans had actually dodged the bullet this time around.
If you'd like help people devastated by Katrina, head over to the Network for Good. Some of the folks who helped with the Tsunami Help Blog now have a Katrina Help Wiki up and running.
UPDATE: Andy Carvin has set up a blog/public gallery: Katrina Aftermath.
UPDATE: Instapundit has the most comprehensive list I've seen thus far of places you can donate to.
The rarely used Lost and Found section on Craig's List, New Orleans is now full of posts and gives you some idea of the human cost of this tragedy.
UPDATE: I never thought I'd live to see the day President Bush put out a call to all Americans to conserve gas.
