An excellent source for information on the unfolding disaster in the Gulf is WWL-TV.

Their web site provides updates as they come in. If you click on the HOME link, you can find links for streaming video feeds, and live feeds when on-air, weather updates on specific parishes and counties, etc.


Things are not improving and Martial Law has been declared.


WWLTV

Here is a good one for people in the Mobile, AL area. This is the TV station I watch for news in my area. It has streaming video of the current news cast.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/ - blogger in a building near the Superdome. Includes IRC and live police scanner feed. You can really get a feel for the complete chaos the place has degraded to.

"They broke into Winn Dixie Monday Night. Do they steal food? No. Cigarettes and liquor. Store was a mess. All the meats were going to waste so the districts went over there to salvage food for officers. Many cops have been eating MREs.

The Iberville Housing Projects got pissed off because the police started to "shop" after they kicked out looters. Then they started shooting at cops. When the cops left, the looters looted everything. There's probably not a grocery left in this city."

I'll have to remember that one... White: Find; Black: Loot; Cop: "Salvage."

Anyway, New Orleans was already a scary place the one time I was there. Sounds really frightening now according to that blog.

Hmmm breaking into ATMs - they do say the police is the largest gang in America.

I'll have to ask my AR State Trooper friend about it when he gets back from there.

For the longest time New Orleans had one of the most crooked police forces around.
