A fascinating photo slide-show from a New Orleans survivor. It’s a useful reminder of the timeline. And of how many New Orleanians were actually optimistic on Day 2, after the hurricane had first passed. The guy got out before the real carnage, though. Thank God.

But people on the ground are the best recorders of history.
