Although Hurricane Katrina is (at this writing, 6 P.M. EDT Saturday August 27th) still some 36-42 hours from landfall (expected to be along the Louisiana Gulf Coast), New Orleans TV station WWL-4 has not only begun live coverage, but are streaming it on their website.
To access the stream, go to www.wwltv.com/perl/common/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=beloint_wwltv&props=noad.
It's possible that at some point prior to Katrina's landfall, given that WWL is a CBS-TV afiliate, the station's coverage of the storm may also be webcast at www.cbsnews.com. If it is, you may find better video and audio quality at the CBS News website because it is set up for more users than WWL's website.
Although I originally posted this information on the Louisiana board, I am also posting it here as a service to other Radio-Info.com users.
It's possible that live streaming video coverage from other New Orleans TV stations may also be posted on-line. If they are, I will try to post links to those webcasts both here and on the Louisiana board.
Given the strength of the storm (currently class 3, expected to be class 4 at landfall, with a couple of staffers at the National Hurricane Center hinting Katrina may even reach class 5 status by landfall), any live webcasts from New Orleans TV (or radio) stations are not guaranteed. For various reasons, the storm could prevent webcasts from being fed to the Internet.
