Katrina - 5 years later

Do you remember 5 years ago seeing the unbelievable footage on news channels of the whole city of New Orleans underwater?  Hurricane Katrina, a category five storm, struck 5 years ago this week.  For any readers who might not be old enough to remember, or those who want to take a look back on the event, here is a list of materials at PCL:
The great deluge/Douglas Brinkley - I highly recommend this extensive chronicle of the storm and it's brutality.
Breach of faith:  Hurricane Katrina and the near death of a great American city
Come hell or high water:  Hurricane Katrina and the color of disaster
Hurricane on the bayou/National Weather Channel
