We’ve been following the situation in the South closely and have found several great websites for up to the minute coverage of what is going on. The few that I’ve shared these links with have appreciated them, so I fiugred maybe others will appreciate them too.

• The Irish Trojan Blog – one of the best sites I’ve found, there are tons of links in the left sidebar
• WWLTV News Blog – great up to the minute Katrina newsfeed
• The Interdictor – amazing site of several guys who stayed and have managed to keep power and an internet connection up and running this whole time
• New Orleans Metroblog
• New Orleans Times-Picayune Newspaper – Breaking News
• Josh Britton – good site with links to photos and commentary
• PunditGuy

That’s pretty much it. Between those sites and the major news sources (abcnews, cnn, msnbc, etc.) I think that’s about as good of coverage as you’re gonna get. There are countless others, these are just a few that I’ve found that provide a good overview of what all is going on.  If you have other good sites that you’ve found, feel free to let me know and I’ll consider adding them.
