And it's going to be in Microsoft Word 2007 as well for those who enjoy the (lagging) Microsoft technology.

The total number of fatalities known, as of this writing, to be either directly or indirectly
related to Katrina is 1833, based on reports to date from state and local officials in five states:
1577 fatalities in Louisiana, 238 in Mississippi, 14 in Florida, 2 in Georgia, and 2 in Alabama.
The total number of fatalities directly related to the forces of Katrina is estimated to be about
1500 spread across four states, with about 1300 of these in Louisiana, about 200 in Mississippi, 6
in Florida, and one in Georgia. Especially for Louisiana and Mississippi, the number of direct
fatalities is highly uncertain and the true number will probably not ever be known. As of this
writing, several hundred persons are still reported missing in association with Katrina, so it is
possible the death toll could grow beyond current estimates.

This was in Tuesday's edition of the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale:

KATRINA DAMAGE STUNNED SPIKE LEE
Spike Lee says he wasn't prepared for the devestation he saw in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. "It looked like what I assume Hiroshima looked like after World War II," the director, 49, told Newsweek for its Aug. 21 issue. He was interviewed about "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts," his upcoming documentary for HBO.
Lee was in Venice, Italy, for a film festival when Katrina hit, and visited the scene of the devestation a month later.
"I just couldn't believe this was happening right now in America," Lee said. "It was one of those moments where you know someone will ask you years from now, 'Where were you when Katrina happened?' "
