recommended diaries from the past week

There's been a huge number of diaries during the hurricane debacle and a lot of them have been excellent. Trying to chase down links I've found it useful to look at a list of recommended diaries, culled from the open thread autoposts like the last time I did this. There doesn't seem to be much interest in regular lists like this, but I think this week's batch is significant and useful to people putting timelines together etc., so here it is (on the flip). Because the diaries were coming so fast, the openthread bot may have missed a few, but this should be most of them.
