Katrina Links

From DQ reader Eric Dost, a link to satellite before-and-after imagery of New Orleans. The page specifically asks people not to hot link to it, but since the Drudge Report already has, I'm not too concerned about doing it myself:

Here's a link that is both compelling and disturbing: five geeks on the eleventh floor of a high-rise on Poydras Ave. (which is downtown New Orleans). They are supporting Directnic.com's data center, and they've been blogging about the hurricane since Sunday. They have a unique view of what's happening from their vantage point, as well as information that isn't coming out via the media channels. Like I said, very compelling but disturbing as well. Here's the link (to the most recent page--you'll need to backtrack to find the first storm entries):
