Pictures from inside New Orleans!

http://www.nerdshack.com/katrina/ - These are pictures from directNIC, a data center that is located in the city of New Orleans and is still functional.

They are also found on LJ as interdictor. That LiveJournal also contains "breaking news" and additional links to a live web cam in NO and other things.

Glad I have you on my friend's list. You keep me so well informed on current events, that I do not need to watch coverage of news on television. Which is a nice thing where as I do not have to but up with the hype of the media.

Here's another one for you:

# Brown: Considering the dire circumstances that we have in New Orleans, virtually a city that has been destroyed, things are going relatively well.

# Homeland Security Director Chertoff: Now, of course, a critical element of what we're doing is the process of evacuation and securing New Orleans and other areas that are afflicted. And here the Department of Defense has performed magnificently, as has the National Guard, in bringing enormous resources and capabilities to bear in the areas that are suffering.

# Crowd chanting outside the Convention Center We want help.

# Nagin: They don't have a clue what's going on down there.

# Phyllis Petrich, a tourist stranded at the Ritz-Carlton: They are invisible. We have no idea where they are. We hear bits and pieces that the National Guard is around, but where? We have not seen them. We have not seen FEMA officials. We have seen no one.
