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

[LBTC]

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...

Thank you, Bouncy!

I was going to look for Noah's Wish tonight to donate....I had forgotten what they were called and was envisioning it would take time to find them....now I can take care of donating to them right now.

I'm like Emily, trying to not picture the doggies and kitties and all the other critters.....it's too hard to think about it!

Namaste,
~T~

my T's and P's to all those suffering from this tragedy too... it is simply overwhelming the amount of lives lost and the devastation... as well as the thought of how long it will take people to get their lives back to "normal"...

It's difficult to imagine what these people must be going through.
I look around here and count my blessings.
Our thoughts are with all those affected.

adding my Ts & Ps also. It's almost eerie how much we all think alike: when I saw the devestation this morning on the Weather Channel I thought, if someone hasn't done it already, I want to start a thread just like this!

Bouncy: glad to see you post hun - you were one of the ppl I was thinking of.

For all you BJ members: Slantzs has set up a link on the home page over at Bike Journal to the red cross for donations to the relief fund.
