Satellite photos of N'awlins, before and after. My brain's circuit-breakers are resetting, so only now is the whole scope of this storm settling in. It's gonna take...geez, years or even decades to piece back the region, assuming the economy isn't shattered in the process. We've had shocks to oil prices before, but never in coordination with so much damage to the infrastructure and a simultaneous disruption of so much of the American population.

And no, it's not Hiroshima or Pompeii or even the Christmas tsunami as others have suggested -- it's a distinctly American calamity, one all the more tragic because we saw it coming miles and years away. But I'll try to stop harping on that....

It keeps me from making comments about the current administration and it's foreign/domestic policies.
