Our prayers for you. I'm hope we are treating you well here in Atlanta. Except for the silly gas panic, that is. Sit tight. That'll be over in a day or two.

My family made it to Georgia.
Dept. of Corrections of GA is having hotels and motels at her specific exit call around for hurricane refugees.
They are being fed and taken care of. They even received a WalMart gift card. Not an enormous amount, but enough to get essential items or a board game for the children (or gasoline!). They are very appreciative and mentioned how nice the people are.
A woman staying in the same hotel was notified this morning that her entire family of five was found drowned in their home.
The men left this morning because they think they are going to survey their damage in Gulfport.
I think we have serious denial going on with the whole area, and when this is all over, the pain and suffering is going to be enormous and affect folks for at least two generations. I hate to bring up the Titanic yet again, but the denial is unmistakeable.
If the men get in, I will post a follow-up when they return.
