OT but prayers to all who are in the path of Katrina

Since this is the busy place I thought I'd post this here even though it's off topic. I think everyone in this hurricane's path needs prayers. It will be a catastrophic storm. Winds are 165 MPH with no sign of decreasing (according to the Miami hurricane center).

Which parts of America are in its path?

for the people in its path.

The Gulf Coast - Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama seem to be in for the worst of it, but this storm is so huge and intense, it's going to cause a lot of trouble even after it makes landfall. They expect most of the U.S. east of the Mississippi to feel its effect to one degree or another.

I used to live in NOLA, and love that city like a member of the family. I also have good friends that live there- they have all evacuated except for one friend's husband who had to stay behind b/c he works for the news channel there. She is so scared- to lose her house and her husband. I've never heard terror in someone's voice like that before- and sadly, it's not over reacting.

The city will never be the same. I'm so sad to even think it- but it seems to be true.

I used to teach in inner-city NOLA- the children/families you see piling into the superdome are the familes I taught essentially... the poor, etc... I worry for them...

I worry for all the pets that got left behind... worry is not strong enough- I know they will not survive this.

God bless all those in it's path. NOLA and surrounding areas will need lots of aid after this- Even though we have no money right now b/c we are buying a house and planning our wedding- I will do my best to contribute something... it is going to be very very bad.

I have the weather channel on and am distraught over this. I do not have any family there, so I can't imagine what those with loved ones in this storm's path must be feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
