A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

RIDERS ON THE STORM: For those of you looking for solid first-person Katrina coverage, miraculously, a group of reporters and family members from the Times-Picayune (and seriously, is there a better local newspaper name in the U.S. than that?) are holed up on the third floor of the T-P building, and are liveblogging what's going on in there, what they're hearing on the police scanner, and what they're seeing outside the few unboarded/unshuttered windows. Seems like they're weathering it OK, which is reassuring.
