angcat, as I have already sent private mail to other FReepers, please know that there is a BIG concerted effort from folks like myself who have gone through natural disasters (not of this magnitude) to get immediate help to these good people. I will post parishes and local churches and organizations for those in the rural areas that won't see the FEMA, Red Cross and other charities for weeks. A camper, generator and much need supplies is going to MS tonight from Florida. Since there is little or no means of communication at this time, I will rely on my friend who will be returning Sunday evening. My friend's elderly mother somehow managed to call to let everyone know she was alive but got cut off after less than a minute. If you would like, you can send any and all help you can to some contacts that I receive at that when my good friends return Sunday. I'm heading to Sam's and Costco for lots of supplies this AM. Believe me, water, Gatorade, soap, food and fresh clothes sound pretty good in this southern heat after 3 or 4 days. I'll keep you posted if you'd like.
