New Orleans
On Flickr right now, a wide array of photos from New Orleans and many other affected areas following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. In particular, have a look at this collection, amassed from various sources.
A post from Dave Winer: "On CNN, Aaron Brown asks what the city will look like when the water recedes. The correct answer … is that the water isn’t going to recede. The only way to get the water out of the city is to pump it out…" - consider this diagram (the cross-section, bottom right of the pic) to see why this comment is quite true.

On the topic of New Orleans and the aftermath of the tragedy there, I’ve come across this rather fantastic blog being written by staff from a web hosting company still based in the city. They’ve also got 3 live cams and hundreds of really good photos. Well worth a visit:
