The most comprehensive summary on Katrina aftermath to date is available here. Of interest:
Hurricane Katrina plowed into this below-sea-level city Monday morning, ripping holes in the roof of the Superdome, blasting out high-rise windows, knocking out power citywide, and leaving residents of flooded neighborhoods in their attics and on rooftops awaiting rescue.
[Terry] Ebbert [NO Director of Homeland Security] said it could be two months before electricity is restored to all of the city.
High winds have damaged parts of Uptown New Orleans, including the Napolean Avenue area, the location of Memorial Medical Center.
Evacuees, stay safe and do not attempt to return any time soon.
