Visualizing Katrina's Diaspora
Another great use of visuls/visual thinking: American diaspora - KatrinaThe above map was based on more than 40,000 postings on Internet "safe lists" by Katrina survivors. ePodunk analyzed messages containing both the person's hometown and the location after fleeing the storm. Pass your cursor over points on the map to see city names and to click to information about the community.

EPodunk is a cool site. I browsed to a bit about Seattle. I learned that it has only a 3% Italian immigrant base.
