Any ideas where I can send blankets, baby and kids clothes, shoes, etc? I'd like to donate what I can, I'm sure they need it.

I'm sure if you contacted your local Red Cross or FEMA they could tell you. It's very kind of you!

Unfortunately, with all the power and phones out, I have no idea how or when I will hear any word (especially since I'm about as far away as you can get in the continental U.S.).

We heard from our family last night. They are all in Baton Rouge now, some with out power. But thankful to have gotten out of New Orleans. Of course I do have one hard-headed cousin that wouldn't leave, but hopefully someone will hear from him soon.


Thanks everyone for praying for all of the people down there.

Oh my GOSH!! We made it! I am on the Gulf Coast of Alabama (on the Mississippi, Alabama border) and we made it thru. We got the East side of the storm, which is the bad side to be one, but we were not hit near as bad as Biloxi/Gulf Port & New Orleans. We are still without power, but running on generators here at work. I work for the major paper in Alabama and am getting all of the devestating news first hand. It's horrible! We had trees down, major flooding, houses and restaurants being ripped away from their foundations, bridges being hit by oil rigs....I could just go on and on. We are truly blessed to still be here and breathing.
