I might add that I appreciate everyone here. I've been able to communicate with some folks in Houma and the surrounding area. But I think talking here with everyone has helped me a lot. We all watched this thing develop, coming into and around New Orleans. We mostly feared the worst. But, even the worst, as we are seeing it happen it's still difficult to wrap our minds around it.
Yep. I was one of those predicting disaster on Saturday/Sunday. Damn, I would love nothing better than to have been wrong!

I have donated to organizations and will continue to do so. In the meantime, I am numb, even more so than four years ago - as this is like watching 9/11 in slow motion. And, despite my last night's rant, I have watched TV news - only muting op ed pieces by talking heads. The images and survivors' stories are important to keep as others have said on threads.
