Katrina survivor stories

Digby is a scroller today. Start at the top, but if you only have time to read one, don't miss this post on rich white people who tried to leave New Orleans but couldn't because the military confiscated the privately owned buses they hired to get them out.

Another fascinating account from inside Ritz Carlton Hotel where Greg Henderson also set up his mobile clinic, and making a good companion piece to this account of life at the Royal Omni and the police station across the street. They're eating prime rib and barbecuing sausages outdoors while people are starving in the streets.
