Some interesting personal accounts of what happened in NO:

I though this part, if true, was especially disturbing:

"Officials were being asked what they were going to do about all those families living up on the freeway? The officials responded they were going to take care of us. Some of us got a sinking feeling. "Taking care of us" had an ominous tone to it.

Unfortunately, our sinking feeling (along with the sinking City) was correct. Just as dusk set in, a Gretna Sheriff showed up, jumped out of his patrol vehicle, aimed his gun at our faces, screaming, "Get off the -------- freeway". A helicopter arrived and used the wind from its blades to blow away our flimsy structures. As we retreated, the sheriff loaded up his truck with our food and water."

Update: LARRY BRADSHAW and LORRIE BETH SLONSKY are apparently associated with 'the socialist worker', so take their comments with a major grain of salt.
