Louisiana is set to be *smacked*

We know what to discuss and not discuss, right? Right?

Hot button topic for me--not only is it affecting me personally, but the level of willful ignorance on the topic is staggering. Sue me.

I can't get ahold of my dad, my mom, or my brother.

Then find other venues to discuss it. They exist. Wilful ignorance isn't going to be corrected by you rubbing "proof" in their noses when they can wilfully ignore that, too.

And I hope that all of yours come through this unscathed, as well. The storm is picking up speed now, news should start making it back out probably early tomorrow with a good bit of information out by mid-day tomorrow. That's just speculation based on similar events, though.

Help the victims of Katrina...

Uh, hi all. As many of you know Katrina, the most powerfull hurricane in 30 years slammed into the south east US this week. Nearly 24 billion in damage is estimated, 54 are dead, and much more.

The red cross is mobilizing the biggest releif effort in its history, and uh, well Its only right we try to help. I'm sure there are many Enworlders who've gotten caught down there or that had to evacuate too.

This CNN Article has some info on how to help... http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/29/katrina.relief/index.html

The best way to help really is to make a direct cash donation to the red cross, that way you know you're not getting scammed and that the money goes directly to help the victims. www.redcross.org for more info. here is also a link to their donation page https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp

I hope you hear from your family soon as I hope we here from ours soon. Still no word.

Bust of luck, guys - I hope you hear from them soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with any EN Worlders in the path of Katrina.

Same here. Watching the aftermath on American morning right now... it's horrific.

I merged in BK's thread--please keep things here, thanks.

Hopefully soon as they're just now sending in search and rescue people. They can't get relief supplies into the area due to lots of flooded roads.


ForceUser: we feel your pain, dude. But please stay calm. Getting all hyped up and stressed out isn't helping any. And all it will do is mess with *your* health. Your family/friends have enough to worry about without having to worry about your health as well. Hope things go well for you as well.

Yeah. And in some places, the water is *rising*! Not going down as one would think....
