Escape from New Orleans, the harrowing tale of two San Francisco EMS workers in town for a convention

How We Survived the Flood by Charmaine Neville (yes, of the Neville family)

The Blog of a Socialist Worker's journey through the storm damaged areas

Dispatches from Tanganyika, New Orleans author Poppy Z. Brite's journal including her ongoing efforts to save her menagerie of 26 pets that had to be left behind at her house (14 recovered so far)

The Shattered Prayer, a very literate weblog of another displaced New Orleanian
