Katrina
My God, I read everything that has happened with this hurricane and I can't believe it. They say 80 people may have died. Really scary stuff.
Today it's already up here in NJ area. You should read my weather report. We could get up to 4 inches of rain. The way the wind is positioned, we could get tornados. Then tomorrow if it gets hot, the storms could get even worse because Katrina will clash with a cold front... VERY dramatic. We don't get 4 inches or rain or tornados around here but this weather report was like 6 paragraphs of how we could have really dangerous weather. Kinda scary.....

The news just said....
30 people were killed in one apartment complex alone in Biloxi when 32 foot storm surge slammed into their apartments...The officials are saying it will take at least 1 month to have electric back on in N'Orleans and that the damage was more "exponentially worse than they expected".
The water is still rising in N'Orleans and they expect it to get even worse before it gets better.

I don't know if anyone saw Aaron Brown last night when he talked with Jeanne Meserve. She talked about nightfall and how they could hear people yelling for help and there was nothing they could do to help them. She was crying.
Then I saw the guy in Mississippi this morning whose house split in half and couldn't hold on to his wife. That interview was haunting. |

Prayers
My prayers go out to the people over there. Chris, your post about the people yelling breaks my heart.

It's awful!
I feel so bad for the people down there. Everything is detroyed. They've lost everything & don't know what to do. I couldn't sleep the night/morning that the hurricane hit b/c I knew some people weren't going to make it. Some people just didn't take it seriously or they couldn't leave b/c they were too sick, old, too poor, etc. I hope to God that no hurricane ever hits us. I don't know where we'd go or what we'd do.
I'm going to write a check to the American Red Cross. It's the least I can do. Lee |

Here is one account from CNN: One man in Biloxi told CNN affiliate WKRG-TV he believed his wife was killed after she was ripped from his grasp when their home split in half. "I held her hand as tight as I could," the unidentified man said. "She told me, 'You can't hold me.' She told me to take care of the kids and the grandkids ... we ain't got nowhere to go. I'm lost. That's all I had." |

They are dropping sandbags into it, I think as we speak and the local pumping station is back on line. That is a good thing, but time is not on the side of the human here as that water is now contaminated and highly dangerous. |
