Just wanted to y'all know we made out the other side of the eye,Mike! :shock:
Sorry, Katrina, but I will never think of you the same!!! :wink:
Thanks for the concern from all of you...many more are a lot worse off than me as I'm sure you have seen on TV.
R2, I spent many a weekend out on the Mississippi growing up...it commands your respect. In a peaceful way you can feel the awesome power of nature on it...and something like Katrina shows you how helpless we are against nature's fury.
Y'all take care and pray for those south of me, Robert

Robert, Give us a damage assessment. Aren't you close to Meridian? Got electricity? Whats the scoop? The "FEMA" trucks have been going west from Montgomery on Hwy 80 for two days now. Counted over sixty in one caravan. I guess they are going over to I-59, then going south towards New Orleans cause they can't get in on I-10 down there. Glad you made out OK.

I'm an earthquake girl -

I see you're in Gilroy. I studed at UCSC in the late '60s, graduated 1971.

Nice country.

V¬'s friend lost her mother in the big one a few years back - - but I get a kick out of most of them - - Our big JD tractor was dancing form wheel to wheel and we were looking and thinking "What the BELL is wrong with it" as it danced down the road 10'

V¬ is a senior at San Jose State

I was grtting out of the Air Force in 61

I doubt you will see any New Orleans flood victims trying to shoot a rescue helicopter out of the sky.

One of the headlines on Fox news this morning:

"Superdome evacuation halted after shots fired at rescue helicopter"

Mike, I'm having a tough time understanding this whole thing. IMHO, I think the officials and the goverment have let the people down in New Orleans. Hind sight is 20/20 but if the dikes where only for a category 3 and a 5 is coming to landfall why not have mandatory evaculation??? Brett Farve was telling about his family living in a house with a tree on it....Get the heck out if there.. He said they had money why stay and be a burden when there is others way worse off.....Sad, Sad, Lots of heartbreak when maybe a little common sense would of made a world of differance..

It's awful that it took this to realize there are more important problems at home. A time like this is when we should be utilizing our national guardsman, to bad they are all over in Iraq or not signing up because our present guardsman are getting screwed over

I have read there are 10,000 guardsmen in and around New Orleans. Is this true or not?
