Audio Reports on Katrina

Below are links to special reports by Newsweek journalists covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. These observations capture the devastation to property as well as its impact on the psyche of its victims. Some of the reports are very graphic. We added this page to Blow the Trumpet’s coverage of this disaster because we believe it captures how a wealthy nation like the United States can become desperate. As you listen to these reports remember: this is America being described, not some third world country.
