A complete post, hopefully not the last, from the livejournal of someone trying to ride out the storm in New Orleans:

building next door collapsed. this may go soon wall missing big cracks. fun trip love you

No car, and by the time she tried to make arrangements to leave, everything was closed.

And now... There are things technology can help with. There are things that it can't. And the storm has just started to go through...

Update: Most recent comments on the post indicate that she got out. Whew. But one of the critical levees keeping water out of the sub-sea-level city has failed; things could still get a whole lot worse.
