Post Hurricane Katrina IMAGES Here (But please, no Getty images)

(1) From long experience with the "Day in the life of..." threads, many FReepers do not have fast computers and internet connections. A single multi-page thread with tons of photos is difficult for them to view. Breaking up the photo threads, as has been happening with the live thread, makes more sense.
(2) When I left the house this morning, the cable news networks were still doing a poor job of covering the hurricane. CNN was the best, but the best of a bad lot, in my opinion. There are many people out there who may need or want to know conditions in New Orleans and the other hardest hit localities. Pics are one way to help them.
