Today is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall along the Gulf Coast [1]. Lots of opinion pieces, news stories, and blogposts have been devoted to the topic, but the two most important posts I think you should read on the topic come from Paul at Wizbang [2] who lived in New Orleans when the hurricane hit (not sure if he’s still there or not) and Bryan at Hot Air [3], who compiled quite a number of very detailed posts about Katrina and the aftermath of it, who was at fault for what, etc, when he still blogged at Junkyard Blog [4].
Paul’s post [5] will make you rethink everything you know about what happened when and after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Bryan’s [6] will make you furious all over again, especially at local and state officials and their handling of pre-Katrina evacuations and post-Katrina relief efforts.
