I was listening to 680 AM this morning. They had their own news reporters and were also tapping into Fox News (fair and balanced... ) One jerk called in to say that he hopes New Orleans sinks into the sea like Atlantis. Someone else called in to talk about how bodies would start to float down the street when cemeteries flooded. Yet another doomsayer called in to tell us that if anyone got swept away in the flood waters, they would get carried all the way out into the Gulf of Mexico. From the actual reporters -- the roof of the Superdome was ripping off, the levee by the 9th ward was breached, and historic buildings in the French Quarter were being ripped apart. All this in the first ten minutes of turning the news on. I'm so glad my sister and her family evacuated New Orleans, but I hope they have a home to get back to.

I heard on the news it's not necessary to raise funds, as FEMA has enough. But donations to the Red Cross would be appreciated, as they're mobilizing for their largest relief effort in history. You can call 1-800-HELP-NOW or go to The American Red Cross Website I'll donate some blood to send over there if there's an easy place nearby, but I have a feeling our family's extra money will be going to my sister and her family -- hopefully for moving costs to Massachusetts, as well as for hotel charges, and who knows what will need replacing from her first floor New Orleans apartment.

Sadly we all know the answer to that question already. The rest of the world sucks. We give them tons of $$ when they are in need but they dont give us %$%$%$%$ to help us out in return.

the hand that fed them gets bitten.

I say if other countries dont help we shut them off for good. No more US donations. Just give us something to show they care. Doesnt even have to be that much. its the principle of the matter. But they won't because they are all greedy SOB's.

Ya FA, but didn't you know we are an evil country and our citizens deserve what happens to us, 9/11 and all We don't deserve help, even though we are and have always been the most generous country and citizens in the world.

Even worse,some of our own citizens believe we are evil too.

Geez sorry Bliz that you have to go through that worry.I know alot of the cell phone service was down yesterday but maybe you could keep trying the cells. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Did a google earth search and it doesn't look like there are any rivers or large bodies of water in that area.

Found a National Guard recruiters office in the area at 601-544-6429, maybe they could help or direct you. Hope it helps.
