Just watched a Nova show on PBS regarding Katrina
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/orleans/

It was very informative, showing how Global Warming is really turning any little storm in the Atlantic into a super hurricane.

It also covered the mechanics of how shoddy construction caused a goodly portion of the damage.

While it didn't cover Bush's vacation, like I wished it had, it did do a decent first person coverage for those who wanted more information.

4. I could kick myself. I missed it.
I really wanted to see it too. I don't see a time listed on the web site for seeing it on a replay. If I had the money, I'd buy a video of it. I bet it was good too. I am doing the interactive thingy on the web site now and even that is great stuff. I really missed something good, didn't I?

6. Nova and Frontline ran back to back shows on Katrina
I missed them because my son was visiting from out of state last week :-), but I've been trying to find a rerun in the schedule ever since. What little I saw looked very very good.
