UPDATE links and blogs about the flood

From Movie Guy at Calculated Risk [Thanks to JJ], here is a lengthy compilation of websites and blogs that have information about the flood, New Orleans, and other related analysis.

Remember that Katrina dumped a LOT of rain on the Mississippi valley and its tributaries.

Hurricane Katrina Aftermath

"The already dire situation in New Orleans has taken a turn for the worse this morning as the breach in the 17th Street Canal Levee is now 200 feet wide and slowly flooding the entire city. In short, the worst-case scenario may be occurring as flood waters completely fill the below sea-level bowl that is New Orleans, potentially turning Lake Pontchartrain and the city into one big toxic lake." -- 12:05 PM, Tuesday, 30 August 2005, Tom Kirkendall of Houston's Clear Thinkers
