Hurricane Katrina Leaves Tail of Destruction

AP- Rescuers along the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast pushed aside the dead to reach the living Tuesday in a race against time and rising floodwaters, while New Orleans sank deeper into crisis, with Louisiana's governor ordering storm refugees out of this drowning city.

There are reports that 80% of New Orleans is flooded after two levees broke. This isn't too supriding given that the "big easy" lies well below sea level in most places and is surrounded by a gulf, a lake and the largest river in the U.S.

As many as 100 people may be dead in Mississippi and Louisiana. What a terrible way to learn a lesson. God bless those still in need.
