T&P&C to all the TE'rs in the Katrina area

Funny, I was thinking the same thing this morning - thanks for starting this thread.

Good wishes are winging to anyone who lives (or was) in Katrina's path from me too. I really feel for all who are in the midst of that devastation.

DITTO...

I was just thinking on my next little TE fix i would start a similar thread...Thank you and more-so...well wishes to the south!!! all too close for me...we were hit directly with Katrina's eye 3 days (a catagory 1 at the time) prior here in FtLauderdale...we had trees down, power out, a few killed, it has affected soooo many!!!! Good luck to our country on this one!!!!

Yes, best wishes and prayers to all.

I'll stop complaining about the heat here or whatever the flavor of the month is. My life is not that bad. I'm writing a check to some charity today.

Yes, prayers and good thoughts to all.

It makes us appreciate the really important things in life - family, friends, health....

Thank you for starting this thread! I, too, had thought about starting it....and kept thinking the words that came to mind were just so insufficient! What devastation! Frightening, really!

Watching some of the footage last night I found myself hugging my 'Cuda dog, crying and chanting about how lucky we are!

Many many thoughts and tons of healing light are headed that way.

Does anyone here know if any of our girls are in that area? Extra special light goes to them, of course.

In the meantime, let's all of us count our own blessings.

Big hugs to all my girls,
~T~

The tragic realities of this hurricane are just now coming out: all the people who couldn't evacuate stuck in their homes in flooded areas, the deaths, the amazing destruction of property. I wonder about all the animals who might still be stuck in houses, unable to climb to the roof to be rescued, too. It's just horrendous to think about.

I made my donation to the Red Cross today (online) and urge others to do the same if you can. Just give what you can afford - every little bit will help those in need get their lives back. Living in NC, where Hurricanes Fran and Floyd delivered a one-two punch in the '90s, I can only imagine what the Katrina victims are experiencing. We lost power for three days from Fran, had a few trees down, and our back fence torn up, and I thought that was bad. The folks in Mississipi and Louisiana may not have power for weeks or months and many have lost everything they had.

So very tragic...
