What it’s like…trying to track down a friend in New Orleans

While Federal services struggle, the New Orleans newspaper has suspended its print edition. But it’s still online at www.nola.com, with the headline “Mayem and madness”. It still has property and auto ads, but the banners are for the Red Cross.

It offers a forum called “Tell them you’re OK”. **update: It says she’s safe. Hurrah.
