Katrina Timeline

Timelines are quite fashionable lately. They certainly do help to see the larger picture that's not available in the moment and provide a useful historical context.

Josh Marshall has created a Hurricane Katrina timeline and is soliciting input. It's got a fair bit finger pointing detail but that's to be expected (consider yourself warned). [via Dan Gillmor]

The Washington Post also had a pretty good round up on Sunday that covered many of the events in chronological order and is perhaps a bit less pointed in laying blame. Wikipedia also has a lot of information lot of information, but no timeline yet.

Update:

This satellite image is amazing. The NASA link is pretty interesting too.
