Help is on the way: I’m off line until the afternoon, but couldn’t stand the thought of my last post being one of despair. There are so many people who want to help, who will do whatever they (we) can to reach out. I have no doubt the response to Katrina will be historic. (I’ll add that I find it reassuring to see that on the Times Picayune news weblog, they’re keeping folks up to date on college and pro football plans.)

Morial compared it to Pompeii. People still live where Pompeii was - just many feet higher than the ancient city. And still under the brow of a volcano. Take the unimaginable idea of basically filling in NOLA and starting afresh, it’d still be vulnerable to hurricanes, although maybe not as much to the flooding.
