Another monster hurricane heads for New Orleans

As Hurricane Gustav heads inextricably toward the Gulf Coast, taking aim at New Orleans, this seems an opportune time to recommend once again the brilliantly written, moving and insightful journals that Louisiana teen Samantha Perez wrote for us beginning the day that Hurricane Katrina rolled ashore. You can read them here.
For those who are wondering, we don't know how Samantha is faring this time. We've tried to contact her, so far without success. But we are thinking of her and her family as another storm bears down on her hometown.

Our official policy: We hate blogs.
