Sorry I meant if it had hit New Orleans as a Cat 4 or Cat 5. I don't believe it was that strong when it hit the city.
It is supposed to hit Memphis sometime tonight and then on east.
I understand that, I also knew when I gave to the Red Cross then that what I was giving wasnt just for 9/11. It was a fundemental breakdown of communication on the part of the RC and they have paid dearly for it, but over the decades they have helped far more than they have ever hurt.
Uh huh. Just be quiet, please?
That would just be TOO funny. Failure to make obviously needed disclosures is just so Red Cross.
I also give to Catholic Charities.
Glad you're safe and hope any other trips to the basement turn out just as well.
Signing off for tonight. Take care.
You better ask for a room on the other side.
It's been gray here all day and the wind chimes are really ringing...My outside dog who always comes in when it storms knocked on the door several hours ago....We're about half way between Louisville and Indy....
Actually about 40 miles NE of Memphis.
Amazing footage from the WDSU link - Coast Guard rescuing people from rooftops!
Sorry you are stuck there! It isn't a bad city, but when I first got there I cried (of course I was 7 months pregnant) and wanted to turn around and go back home (WA state.) I have fond memories of living there, but wouldn't want to live there, again.
Take care in the storm. When we were there in 94, a horrible tornado hit Germantown.
Thats what I am saying, it was a Cat 4 when it hit NO
Your post was addressed to someone else, right?
Thanks for that info Velveeta.

I don't doubt that many local RC chapters, and many individual RC volunteers are doing excellent and much needed work. But the American Red Cross as a whole just has too extensive a history of financial mismanagement and inappropriate treatment of disaster and war victims, to be on my donation list.
What kind of weather are they saying you are going to get??????
So far quiet here just getting a much needed slow soaking rain.
