You are doing a great job helping to create a very wonderful and educational thread here! You are helping to preserve history. It will help me teach my children about hurricanes and such (and I've learned a lot too!). Thanks so much - to everyone on the thread, too!!!

Prayers for everyone touched by Hurricane Katrina!
