W.House knew of flooding night of Katrina: documents

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Numerous witness accounts of the New Orleans flooding, including from federal officials, reached Washington the night before the White House has said it learned of the disaster, congressional investigators said.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman sent an e-mail at 9:29 p.m. on Monday, August 29, the day Hurricane Katrina made landfall and broke the levees protecting New Orleans, to John Wood, the chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
