An on the scene perspective of NOLA

Ran across this on CNET tonight:

"Six blocks from the Mississippi River, in a 27-story skyscraper on Poydras Street in New Orleans, the staff of an Internet domain hosting service is chronicling Hurricane Katrina's chaotic aftermath with an immediacy that remote bloggers simply can't mimic.

Armed with food, water, a diesel generator, a camera and at least one firearm, five employees of New Orleans-based DirectNIC have been holed up since just before the storm blew in nearly a week ago on the 10th and 11th floors of the building that houses their headquarters.

Since then, employee Michael Barnett has described the saga on an oft-updated Livejournal, once a place for him to "talk smack and chat with friends," which he renamed this week as "The Survival of New Orleans Blog."

I thought it was pretty interesting.

This has been posted several times. I have been watching them and reading since last week, based on the first post.
