Damage Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 With Katrina on her way to you in less than few hours nows, I'm hoping for all the best for those of you in Louisiana area, esp. for those of you that may be in New Orleans area. Though I'm not sure how many of you are seeing this this late in the game, if you do, know that we're thinking of you nonetheless.Go rock that hurricane!!

Skradgee Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I would also like to wish good luck to everyone down south near the hurricane. Keep fighting the good fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Yes, please stay safe -- truly one of the worst hurricanes to hit the US in recent times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic-pessimist Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Even small donations will help the hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless and jobless by the hurricane. I live about an hour from New Orleans, and I've seen some of the people coming out of there. There are parking lots around Baton Rouge filled with people living in cars because they don't have any other place to go. Baton Rouge was fortunate to not be hit very hard, but large parts of the city are still without power and probably won't get it back for several more days, making it hard for the shelters in town (which are overflowing) to handle all these people. New Orleans is uninhabitable. Residents probably won't be able to return there for a month or more. Power won't be back on for a couple of months, and the recovery and cleanup will probably take years.https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 God bless them all, I will donate accordingly.In other news, here is a live blog from someone there, right now, as we speak. This is truly incredible and if you have an ounce of compassion within you should read this to understand what is occuring here in the US:http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
