A downtown cam is showing — as this is written, a fire. A minute ago I saw the fire truck go by — in the wrong direction! Good feed.

It’s very interesting to see how the comments go from “Bring it on!” on Sunday to “Chaos” on Wednesday.
I was scrolling through the news footage over at accuweather and the list of video footage titles reads like a slow motion car accident; from the glibly named “Surf’s Up!” and “Hang on to your Hats” to “Doomsday?” and “Fury and Destruction”:

There’s actually a fire in the low building in the middle distance, and fire trucks are slowly converging. Wonder if they have any water pressure to work with?
John – here is a text copy of an email that I received today, and it seems like important info for you to disseminate:
Air America Public Voicemail
1-866-217-6255
Air America Radio’s Public Voicemail is a way for disconnected people to communicate in the wake of Katrina.
Here’s how it works:
Call the toll-free number above, enter your everyday phone number, and then record a message. Other people who know your everyday phone number (even if it doesn’t work anymore) can call Emergency Voicemail, enter the phone number they associate with you, and hear your message.
You can also search for messages left by people whose phone numbers you know.
Air America Radio will leave Public Voicemail in service for as long as this crisis continues. You can call it whenever you are trying to locate someone, or if you are trying to be found.
Obviously, for this to work, people need to know about it so please forward the number to as many people as you can. You can find out more about Katrina and the affected areas at http://www.airamericaradio.com.
Air America Radio brings you Emergency VoiceMail in conjunction with VoodooVox.
Also, if you’re looking for a way to help personally, MoveOn.org Civic Action, formerly known as MoveOn.org, launched a new web site yesterday, http://hurricanehousing.org/ asking its 3.3 million members and the public to post any available housing for the thousands of people left homeless by Hurricane Katrina. The organization will directly connect evacuees with volunteer hosts, and also provide the housing information to the Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
From one of the pictures in the photoblog I can tell where he is.
