From CNN:

"DESPAIR, DEATH PERVADE NEW ORLEANS

"Thousands of people forced from their homes by Hurricane Katrina have crammed into the New Orleans convention center, where they've had no food, no water and no word on when help would come.

"And people are dying."

From the AP:

"GULF COAST REELING; TROOPS POUR INTO REGION TO BOLSTER SECURITY

"But the ambulance service in charge of airlifting the sick and injured from the Superdome suspended flights after a shot was reported fired at a military helicopter. Richard Zuschlag, chief of Acadian Ambulance, said it had become too dangerous for his pilots."

From MSNBC:

"CRIES FOR HELP SPREAD ACROSS NEW ORLEANS

"'Hospitals are trying to evacuate,' said Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesan, spokesman at the city emergency operations center. 'At every one of them, there are reports that as the helicopters come in people are shooting at them. There are people just taking potshots at police and at helicopters, telling them, 'You better come get my family.''"

FoxNews is headlined "The Equivalent of Armageddon"

That's it. I'm in for another $100.
