not even close to the Big Easy

Things are certainly not easy in the Big Easy right now. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who are still trapped in the toxic sink that is New Orleans. (Sure would be nice if New Orleans had those soldiers and equipment that are now in Iraq...)

Technology is playing a part in the coverage, of course. Like during 9-11, folks who are trapped are using their cell phones to call for help. There are also lots of bloggers reporting about the hurricane.

A good source of media (albeit left-leaning), including images, podcasts, and blogs, is one I've plugged before: alternet. Check it out if you're not already overwhelmed by images, podcasts and blogs about Katrina and New Orleans.
