Hurricane Katrina Aftermath (and other stuff I find interesting)

I talked to my dad this morning (I've gotten a few calls on my cellphone, maybe service is getting better?) and he said that he's been at work since Thursday, and the power came back on about 8pm Thursday night. A friend had lent them a generator, so they had been ok in advance of that. The power is on most of the area, the water is running, and there are no lines at the gas stations, since they all have power and gas supplies now. Life is getting back to normal, he says.
