Hurricane Katrina in Wikipedia

I think you have to be impressed with the coverage of Hurricane Katrina in Wikipedia. In addition to articles in WikiNews the main article has more detail than I've ever seen in a newspaper on a Hurricane and has been updated about once every minute or two for the last several days.

Imagine if newspapers could release continually updated versions of a story. For anything that lasts more than a day, that will save a lot of rewriting of backstories.
