CNN and other sources report that at least 50 individuals are feared dead as a result of an apartment collapse, flooding, and other causes attributed to Hurricane Katrina.
In fact, as I write, I'm watching the replay of a moving report by an emotional Jeanne Meserve of CNN describing horrific scenes in the aftermath of the hurricane, including those in which police were forced to leave citizens screaming for help.
Meserve described a scene of rescue in which a woman with her legs severed was taken to safety. Others were apparently not so lucky, as police were unable to maneuver their boats to help them.
Video shown during Meserve's live report and interview with host Aaron Brown included a dramatic helicopter rescue by the Coast Guard, images of homes completely flooded up to their rooftops, and the wind-ravaged roof of the SuperDome.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of the areas affected.
