Kick at the Darkness

Suffice to say that Katrina cannot be described by the meager words available to my meager brain. It is awful. Just awful. I hope that the death estimates are higher than reality and that at least some of the rumors of what went on at the Superdome were urban legend. I do not expect either of these hopes will come to fruition.
Props to Instapundit for its comprehensive list of Katrina related charities.
