The best breaking news from New Orleans I've been able to find...

is from the Times Picayne Breaking News blog. Very local coverage of Hurricane Katrina with updates several times an hour.

Update: The Times Picayune is evacuating their building and they're not posting right now. WWL-TV is evacuating also. WWL is posting blog-style updates every few minutes.

Update: Also, StormDigest blog coverage is collating original reports from the mainstream media.

A local tv station had been on the air with substantive interviews with local officals interspersed with vacuous tv chatter; the stream isn't working anymore. Update: they now have CBS broadcasting WWLTV

Best of luck and prayers for the people in New Orleans.

Houston is so far from N.O. Why no tent city close to N.O.? Evac would be MUCH faster than a shuttle to Houston.
