[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2605733, member: 99"] I should hope so! She's in Atlanta (unless I'm mistaken). ;) Oddly enough, Acquana, I've been thinking about your family and friends too. Thanks to Holly and the pic that RangerWickett posted of your group when you were all in Beaumont, you guys are the only people I've ever known from there. So when that name pops up in the news, you guys are who I think of. Since I know for a fact that the three of you no longer live there then my thoughts shift to, "I hope their loved ones are safe." I understand your frustration but I think most of what you're seeing is just a palpable sense of relief that things were not as bad as Katrina. I don't think folks are minimizing the damage that took place but even the locals seem to acknowledge that it could have been far, far worse and they're thankful that it wasn't. In any event, having been through a couple hurricanes before, I'm aware of the challenges they'll face in terms of cleanup and rebuilding. I wish them luck and godspeed. [/QUOTE]
