For a second time I was confronted with this map on another blog.
I thought it was time for Tribunes to consider the magnitude of thousands of people practically flung across the country rather than in places of refuge nearby so that they could partake of the aid and comfort others have sent or given to them. Like all those emergency rations the British sent to the Gulf States that was probably destroyed because it was below standard (the same rations feed the British soldiers in Iraq).
The text was written by Brad Edmondson, and is part of a series on ePodunk called “Mass Migrations.” (You’ll be able to link to other catastrophic events at a box on the lower right.) This site at http://www.epodunk.com/top10/diaspora/index.html is linked to hundreds to locations where people from New Orleans have been sent to refuge, either temporarily or permanently. Simply point and click at any of the white dots.
The map data was compiled by Laurie Bennett of ePodunk and the mapping was created by Daniel Shorter.
This may or may not be a dupe; my apologies if it is.
ePodunk (http://www.epodunk.com/) apparently is a webpage where you can find out information about cities, peoples, communities, regions, and even colleges and cemeteries throughout the United States.
