The Battle of New Orleans
From August 29th Through Sunday September 4th Michael Barnett has kept the world informed of The Battle of New Orleans.
This is the first hand account of an event unlike anything that has ever happened in our nation.
From Michael Barnett:
This journal has become the Survival of New Orleans blog. In less perilous times it was simply a blog for me to talk smack and chat with friends. Now this journal exists to share firsthand experience of the disaster and its aftermath with anyone interested.
For those of you who haven’t been reading this, I’m on the 10th/11th floors of a 27 floor high rise at 650 Poydras in downtown New Orleans. If you go to Google Earth or some other map program, we’re the big brown building between Poydras ave and Lafayette Square and between Camp Street and St. Charles Ave. We’re about 6 blocks from the river. We have a view (in the daytime) of the river, the twin spans over the river, the interstate, the Entergy building, the landmark building, the federal court of appeals building, a bunch of hotels, etc.
