You Can Help

The Red Cross needs money, not goods. If you have any money to donate, help the folks down in New Orleans.

As feared, the water is killing/killed more than the storm itself. The latest reports indicate that 80% of New Orleans is underwater thanks to levee breaks. The Superdome will be evacuated as soon as they can figure out how to move 10,000 plus well over 20,000 people. The situation in the Superdome is apparently becoming more desperate by the minute, with no air conditioning or running water. New Orleans will be unlivable for at least a few weeks month, maybe a few months.

Even worse hit, Biloxi was wiped off the map. MSNBC is showing a terrifying video of a helicopter tour over what used to be Biloxi. The floating casinos were all over the town, and had crushed whatever they hit. But mostly there was just nothing left. The storm surge hit after the hurricane passed, and it was a 22 foot wall of water.

A lot of people didn't expect the water. I can't imagine the terror of having survived the hurricane itself only to find your shelter rapidly filling with water. People climbed into the rafters of their homes... into the attics...

A million people evacuated. It wasn't enough.
