It's under 20 feet of water, and they're here in a shelter in Nashville.
Life turns on a dime, doesn't it?
Wow.

9:26 P.M. - (AP) The overseers for Louisiana's charity hospital system was working Saturday to learn the whereabouts of many patients evacuated late Friday. It did know some.
8:47 P.M. - (AP) The last bedraggled refugees were rescued from the Superdome on Saturday and the convention center was all but cleared, leaving the heart of New Orleans to the dead and dying, the elderly and frail stranded too many days without food, water or medical care.
No one knows how many were killed by Hurricane Katrina's floods and how many more succumbed waiting to be rescued. But the bodies are everywhere: hidden in attics, floating among the ruined city, crumpled on wheelchairs, abandoned on highways.
