Hurricane Katrina Aftermath (and other stuff I find interesting)

"WGNO, reporter Susan Roesgen, who is with the mayor at the Hyatt hotel, said New Orleans police had received more than 100 calls about people in the area trapped on their roofs. "

I can't tell you how many stories we have heard of families who keep hatchets and axes in the attics of their houses (or shotguns for that matter) so they could cut out onto their rooftops in the event of rising water. I guess it's starting to happen...
