I don’t have time to post a full update right now, but I highly recommend Alan Sullivan’s latest post, including updates. He summarizing things excellently.
Also, Eric Berger has promised a comprehensive rundown on the prognosis for New Orleans in the next couple of hours.
More later. In the mean time, keep checking the links in the sidebar at right for the latest.
P.S. The timestamp on this post, and all posts on this blog, is in Pacific time. I apologize for any confusion.
I will try to post an update after the 5:00 PM EDT (2pm PDT) advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

1. PMH:Are you aware that your Flash ad..
(The Surge Worked, recently)
..interferes badly with your postings?
Right now, if you slowly vary the with of your Browser window, ..
(I’m using IE6.)
..you can see the whole of your latest (11:26) posting appear & disappear.
Earlier it was … just … the title of the posting.

Aug 31, 2008 - 12:41 pm 3. TexEd:Why have the stupid republicans allowed the MSM and anti-American dems to make a hurricane their problem/fault? The dumb/crooked folks of LA live there by their choice and, eventually, will get washed away. Do you think the anti-Americans will pause in their attempts to destroy the country because someone believes it would be unseemly? Run the damn convention as planned!

Aug 31, 2008 - 1:58 pm 5. Brendan Loy:Those “dumb/crooked folks that live in LA” (?)are AMERICANS. Who is the one being the anti-American here? I think it is the guy from Texas. One of my greatest losses from Katrina was my loss of faith in my own country. Things are going VERY well this time around. All levels of government seemed to have learned from their mistakes. Put your bitterness aside (Heaven knows I am TRYING to!) and be glad that your fellow Americans have a good chance not to re-experienc the indescribable suffering of the last 3 years.
PMH, thanks for the heads up about the Flash ad. I don’t have any control of that, but I’ll contact my editors and let them know there is/was a problem. Thanks!
