Personal Note of Katrina

Thanks Stonetree for offering up the info below on Katrina. I have a friend who lives/lived in New Orleans. Fortunately for her she was starting a new job in LA and was out of town getting situated and finding a place to live. Her home in New Orleans is competely underwater and all of her things, except for the stuff in her travel suitcase is gone. It was very hard not knowing if she was safe or alive. Emails unanswered felt like unanswered prayers to God.

She is fine and feels fortunate...no blessed that she was not there and that the universe had given her an opportunity to not be there...but her friends are and some she is not sure if they are alive and her life is gone. I am not sure why I am writing except to for anyone reading offering a personal report of Katrina. And that please put out good thoughts for her friends and everyone still down there, waiting for help, waiting to be saved.
