• The first of nearly 25,000 refugees being sheltered at the Superdome in New Orleans arrive at Houston's Astrodome, where they will stay until floodwaters recede.


• Officials start evacuating 10,000 people -- patients, staff and refugees -- out of nine hospitals in the New Orleans area without power, using generators that are running low on fuel, or battling floodwaters.


• Tenet Healthcare Corp. asks Louisiana State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard to help evacuate one of its fully functioning hospitals after a supply truck carrying food, water, medical supplies was held up by gunmen.


• New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin orders 1,500 police to leave their search-and-rescue missions and return to the streets to stop looting. He says looters would be arrested and jailed
