This is such a large
catastrophe that I've taken some pictures from CNN to record the event and
the work done by the rescue services. Text at the bottom of the pictures
also gives some information. As many people from other parts of the world
may not have access to these pictures this will give but a very small
indication of what has happened to the area. During this evening (30th
August) we also hear that looting is going on in New Orleans and that some
levies have broken and more water is pouring into the city. The reports
tell of lack of food and clean water, lack of communications, lack of ways
out or into the city, dangerous animals on the loose. Other areas have
been heavily impacted as well and further north the storm has caused
tornadoes which have created more devastation. The current concern is the
rising flood waters in New Orleans. There have already been many deaths
and more are expected to be reported as time of writing this.
It's certain that regular
visitors to Electric Scotland have been affected by this disaster. There
really aren't words to express my horror at the massive damage and stories
coming in from survivors. I can only hope that friends of the site have
survived and will continue to do so and my prayers are with them at this
terrible time.
