Editor's note...
Hurricane Katrina is the most destructive storm to ever hit the mainland United States, and though we've been inundated with images and stories since the storm hit, nothing can compare to actually being there. Though we can't all get our hands dirty in the receding waters along the Gulf Coast, we can certainly all help. Please, please consider lending a hand to help those whose lives have been affected by the disaster.
