Here are excerpts from mail sent by a doctor who was helping evacuate patients in New Orleans (and triage and care for them as best he could) after the hurricane and flooding. (Thanks to hrafn for the link.)

The thing that sits at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is not human. Not even as human as Richard Nixon was. This explains why. [Fixed link; thanks!]

Also, via tafkar via ladytabitha, here’s a fascinating photographic chronicle of the hurricane and the rising of the water.
