After the storm the hunger for information was intense. No one knew what was going on. The national news seemed focused on the sensational. The Times Picayune had to evacuate its Howard Avenue home. WWL radio even had to leave. That left only a few intrepid souls with power and phone lines to tell it like it was. Polimom had evacuated to Houston but had enough contacts on Algiers Point to lay it out in a blog for everyone to read. Fascinating stuff as a counterpoint to the converage we all saw on CNN, Fox and MSNBC The blog reads backwards with the first post at the end.
