Fox reports that the water is still rising in New Orleans and that martial law has been declared. 750,000 people in Lousiana are without power, possibly 500,000 in Mississippi and Alabama. Everyone still in N.O. is urged to leave. Last night, CNN's Jeanne Meserve, a tough reporter who usually covers the State Department and Pentagon, found it hard to speak while trying to describe the scene in N.O. to Larry King. Will keep my fingers crossed for Poppagator and everyone else caught up in this disaster.
