Yep, disasters bring the best and worst out in people. that's sertainly true. Besides as many people have said "god is in control" and only good can come of things like this when he's at the helm.
Brother of Cairo native rescues many victims of Hurricane KatrinaBy Amy Compney/City EditorSue Davis of Cairo is asking anyone and everyone to pray for the people that Hurricane Katrina has left stranded, hungry, thirsty and homeless. Her brother is one of them but he is alive and working as hard as he can to keep others alive as well.
Tom "Gator" Seefeldt, Davis' brother, lives in Biloxi, Mississippi. He is a 25 year veteran of the Navy, where he served as a SEAL, he is a veteran of Vietnam, has served in Somalia and Africa and has even spent time hunting alligators (hence the nickname) for the government. And although he's seen active combat and the terrible side of the human condition through his many years of work as a SEAL, when he got a call out to his sister two days ago, he said the devastation to his area was the worst he has ever seen.
Davis said Gator has been busy rescuing as many people as he can; when she spoke to him last, he had taken over 50 people into his home to give them food and shelter. He has pulled almost that many dead bodies out of the water and taken them to I-90, where he told Davis there were about 800 corpses lined up along the road for rescue workers to retrieve. It was 102 degrees when Davis got to speak to her brother and the mosquitoes and flies were eating the survivors alive.
David said it is God that put him there, God that helped his well-stocked property to be saved. And she is asking everyone she can to put him on their prayer lists, stop by her business at Daylight Diner to pray, or just plain pray whenever they can so he can help as many people as possible get to safety.
