ooc: Being in Houston, I certainly see at least some of the effects of Katrina, so I know what you're talking about, Animus. Be where you're needed the most--with your family. I hope that your family from New Orleans is okay and that you might be able to help them in any way you can.
I'd also like to see the end of this adventure, though. If you want to keep GMing it or if you think a GM with more time would be better, it's your perogative. If you're not sure if you can post very often, maybe passing it on would be better. If/When you want to GM here again, you're certainly welcome and will have players.
