Nana All Deafening on the New Orleans Front
At 5:27 PM
by: Nana

This blog is amazing. It's written by a guy who is stuck on the 10th floor of a building in New Orleans that is surrounded by flood waters from the Hurricane Katrina. The building is a data center that deals with maintaining servers for various websites, including Something Awful.

He has streaming video from the building running nonstop and some commentary about the events that are occuring in New Orleans, including looting and other crimes.

It really drives home how selfish people can be, when all they can think about is profiting from unfortunate circumstances like Hurricane Katrina, even at the risk of their own lives.

UPDATE

It completely slipped my mind to mention that the Red Cross is taking donations for a Relief Fund for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. You can donate online at Red Cross dot Org or by calling 1-888 HELP NOW. Our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by the Hurricane, or by any of the other terrible things happening in the world at this instant.
