Looks like New Orleans got spared the worst of it. Katrina spun through in such a way that her deadlier fronts didn't slam into the city's most total vulnerabilities, so bully for that! Nevertheless, it's going to be a bad day for Louisiana, for Mississippi, and a couple of others besides. In two days, when the refugees trudge back into their drowned metropolis, they'd better mix thoughts of reconstruction with serious attention to Chris Mooney's article on prevention. Not to mention that, as Chris notes at his site, global warming (and its expected rise in sea levels) is not going to make for a prettier picture over the next few decades. Maybe Katrina could be a wake-up call?
Nah...this bed is just so comfy...
