Yesterday I noticed Brian Oberkirch was ‘online’ on AIM and I sent him ‘don’t tell me you haven’t left yet’ message. Brian and his brood were already safe and sound in Dallas but I can’t even begin to imagine what’s going through their minds as they watch the coverage on CNN and elsewhere.
Memo to Brian - don’t turn on the TV.
Doc Searls has the definitive list of blogs and other coverage.
Our thoughts are, of course, with the thousands who couldn’t get out.

David: too late! We’ve been obsessing over the WDSU feed, and were greeted with the news this morning about the pumps not working, the power out in the Dome, and a section of the dome roof ripped off.
The very worst is going over Bay St. Louis/Pass Christian. Very much like Camille. Our little town is getting pounded right now, though.
Thanks for the thoughts.
My brother lives in Pass Christian (his house survived Camille in ‘69) but I’m afraid this one sounds much worse property-wise. He and his wife evacuated for Ivan so I’m hoping they did for Katrina. None of the news stations are showing any photos from Bay St Louis or Pass Christian. I’m afraid I’m fearing the worst for this area.
