NN,

The last information I read was when the 2 block long levee was breached. I haven't been able to keep up with any type of news (whether here on FR or all other news sources).

Unfortunately, I've had to take medication that pretty well knocks me out and makes the best place for me to be is in bed.

I'm still not feeling 100% but can spend some time out of bed and catching up on what's happened (happening) in NO.

Is there some place for me to read up on NO? Y'know, a thread or similar that tells me whether the levee's were breached, what flooded as a result of the breach, how are search and rescue teams doing, is the dome still full of refugees, has everyone been rescued yet, any death toll estimates, if my town wanted to donate canned goods, clothing, bedding, furniture and money; is that acceptable or should we donate to who? I know the Red Cross and the Salvation Army are kind of like first responders but what can ordinary citizens do to help after the first responders have done their thing?

I regret if I seem a little disjointed, I'm still not all there yet. I apologize if I've offended anyone by this post. I know I could go read a lot of different threads but unfortunately, I don't have the stamina yet to do so.

NN, thanks for keeping the threads going and for all that you do.

There are links to the previous threads at the top of this thread. The more recent ones have recaps of the day's news. Also note another FReeper thread above that containes archives of Katrina stories by backhoe. That should keep you busy for a few days...

Hope you are feeling better.
