Bliz - Let me know if you can find one. We have freinds (my wife works with) in Gulfport before the storm and have not heard of anything at all.

What a tragedy!

May God Bless all the people who have to suffer such a tragedy. 7000 National Guards are being deployed to aid victims of Katrina. Is 7000 enough? I don't think so... Why aren't more effort being put in aid and recovery of New Orleans? Well it's simple, no funds. 42% of flood funds were cut in 2001. Where do you think the funds went? Take a guess...

So what do you think of Bush now?

fish when you can is the way I do it man

I heard 21,000 being deployed fromReuters with more to come and flood funds are being cut because the insurance companies consider them high risk areas.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

FEMA is currently being investigated for massive fraud dating back to 9/11 and all the subsequent hurricanes since then. How can an agency that gives 29 million dollars away to an area(Miami) that had'nt suffered any catastrify be taken seriously when asking for more $$$$$
