Katrina

The scenes of devestation in New Orleans are undeniably heart-rending. There is little I can add at this point -- all I'm doing is watching the scenes. The breaking news feed from the AP and the New Orleans Times-Picayune (and the Times has evacuated its building, as noted by Vodkapundit) are here.

Michelle Malkin, Instapundit, Hugh Hewitt and others all have links to places offering aid. NZ Bear has a full list of the blogs covering the storm.

Giving aid is one important thing we can do. Giving blood would be another. And let's all pray -- because even if you're not certain that there is a higher power, the folks in New Orleans and the surrounding environs could use one.
