I'm all for keeping this a hurricane thread...but, like a poster mentioned, LIVE threads that are dealing with high stress levels tend to end up with recipe talk...
Therefore, to me, it is comforting to see the recipe talk...it would make me MORE nervous if it weren't here..
JMHO, of course.

We all know these are high stress level threads, and I see nothing wrong with having a distraction here and there (as in recipe and song stuff), because we all know we're just anxious for the end results...
I'm concerned for relatives in Mississippi...
I'm wondering -- is there a thread on Free Republic for folks outside the immediate area impacted by the hurricane who would like to offer temporary shelter & assistance for the people who have evacuated ? A lot of them do not have any place definite to go -- and a lot of the hotels/motels west & north are full up -- or the people barely had the money to buy gas & get out, not enough to pay for hotel room & food.
I see that some of the liberal blogs and websites are taking posts from people offering shelter -- I'm sure we conservatives are equally generous as those #$$%^E& libbies.
There are other threads you can use to relieve stress. I'm checking this one for the latest facts and don't want to scroll through 50 chit-chat posts to find it.
Seriously folks, a lot of people are going to be going to bed and checking back later. Let's not clutter this thread, if possible, so we can find the news quickly when coming back in.
