I just got a note from MediaChannel.org. They’ve posted some of the stories coming from the forums hosted by the Times-Picayune in New Orleans. The newspaper is devoting it’s full resources to covering the effects of the hurricane and many are using the paper’s forums as a way to try to communicate to the outside world.
(Note — This link may not be working anymore. When I tried to go back to it, I couldn’t get through. I suspect that high traffic may be playing havoc with it.)
But the threads are getting scary and they make for chilling reading. I feel so helpless when I read them, thinking about what those people are going through…if you want to help, I suggest you consider donating to the Red Cross, which is now accepting donations on behalf of the American Red Cross.
