Katrina: “I’m In An Abandoned City”

Following up on this post, Steve Harrigan continues to report via videophone near a fire in downtown New Orleans.

“This is really the heart of what’s called the warehouse district in downtown New Orleans.

Just a few minutes ago, we heard a shot, a pistol shot from over to my right. We saw some of those men with rifles run that way….
