Live broadcast feeds of CBS channel 12 from Jackson, Mississippi, and another from CBS channel 5 in Mobile Alabama

Michelle Malkin's blog is blogging the coverage as well. Lots of good links.

UPDATE 5:37 PM PST: CNN has this quote from a public health expert at the LSU Hurricane Center:

"We would really encourage people not to come back for at least a week"...Van Heerden ticked off the problems anyone returning to (New Orleans) would find: "no sewage, no drinking water, contamination, threat of rapid increase in mosquitoes, roads are impassible, downed power lines everywhere, trees, debris from houses in the roads, no way to go shopping, no gas." The water also has dislodged fire ants and thousands of snakes -- including poisonous water moccasins -- from their homes. "If you came back, you would be coming literally to a wilderness," he said. "Stay where you are, be comfortable; nothing's going to change. If your house is gone, it's gone. If you come back in a day or a week, it's not going to make any difference."
