Twenty two Poles missing in the aftermath of Katrina hurricane
06.09.2005
Over twenty Poles are still missing after hurricane Katrina struck the US southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama a week ago – the Polish Foreign Ministry informed.
According to the spokesperson of the ministry, Aleksander Checko families and relatives of the missing Poles as well as anyone having important information on the issue are requested to contact the Polish Consulate in Chicago.
So far 24 Poles have been rescued and most of them are currently under the care of the Polish embassy staff in Washington. Several hundred people are dead in the US southern states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama which had been struck by hurricane Katrina a week ago while most of New Orleans is still under water.
My sympathies. Hope they're OK.
From what I've seen, they can do a pole every half hour, roughly. 3 days and they will be bcak up to speed. Running the new/spliced cable willbe a different story, though.
God bless their families. I suspect they are lost in the mess and will be found OK.
I'm glad you got there first. I was planning on asking if anyone knew what happened to the dancers...
FOUND ONE!
Here's hoping they evacuated and just haven't been able to get in touch yet.
