(think progress has the complete katrina timeline here...)
i was right here in buenos aires, glued to cnni the entire time, breaking off only to eat and sleep... for the most part, i alternated between two intense emotions as i watched events unfold - intense rage at seeing my country's government and its worthless president paralyzed as a city was destroyed, and wracking sadness and grief at the plight of those affected by it... yes, the hurricane was tough enough to deal with, but its impact didn't have to be nearly as bad as it was... and, one year later, it's STILL a mess...
