As We've Come to Know and Love it: The Storm

Our friends at the New Orleans Times Pic have put together a very telling animation of just what went down on August 29, 2005. I live here, but I don't think I fully understood the various levee breaches and storm surges and Pontchartrain swells until today. The animation includes a time stamp which makes clear that all was lost by about 9:30AM that Monday morning -- a full day before the federal government acknowledged any levee breaches.
