Quick news

And now for one of my rare news posts, literally in this case: My brother was on NBC national news at prime time last night for the work he's been doing down in New Orleans. NBC aired just a clip of the interview, but I think MSNBC aired a longer segment. The camera crew spent most of the day with him covering some of the rescue work, and the interview mainly spanned Chris's predictions of the short and long term health impacts of the conditions in the city. Also, once he finished the priliminary evacuation work in NO, he was sent to Slidell to help set up and run a MASH unit to treat the injured there, and now he's back in the difficulties of the Big Easy again. On another bright note, Chris' house actually avoided the flooding, apparently being in the twenty percent of the city that didn't submerge. Sadly, there is no news of the cat as of yet because Chris has still been unable to enter his home.
