After the flood

I know this is a wildlife disease blog, but I am a frequent listener of "This American Life" and I was deeply moved by the "After the flood" episode (RealAudio format).

Parts made furious, other parts hopeful.

From the site:

After the Flood
Surprising stories from survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. A woman who was at the convention center talks about some things she says were widely misreported and misunderstood. Two people explain how armed police from Gretna actually prevented them from leaving New Orleans at the height of the crisis. A teenager talks about what it actually feels like to go without water for two days. And more.
