I think last night was the first night since August 27 that my dreams did not involve large quantities of water.
While on August 27, the hurricane had not yet the Gulf Coast and the levees had not yet broken, that night I stayed up late obessively watching the news. Late enough to watch Mayor Nagin issue a mandatory evacation at 10:00 am on August 28, New Orleans time. Only then did I go to sleep in bed, rather than on the couch.
