I feel terrible about this. I grew up in Biloxi. West of New Orleans LA all the way past Mobile AL to the east is messed up horrifically.
www.sunherald.com check out the arial photos under PHOTOS. I couldn't even recognize the place without captions. Terrible.
I just can't donate. I gave $250 to the Tsunami when I was OK with money. I am between jobs now. I am trying to figure out how to pay my rent.
I tried to volunteer for the cleanup, but I don't have a Hazmat Card. It is that bad that you have to have training in Hazardous Materials.

65racecoupe - if you are able to donate blood, they are in dire straits for blood donations! And your local red cross could definitely use your help, too! They are woefully understaffed!

I donated but in a different way. New Orleans got flooded but the Mississippi Gulf Coast got "destroyed". I am from Biloxi, MS and what I used to know as "the coast" is no longer... literally wiped off the map. Much worse East of N.O. than what you see on CNN or MSNBC. My donation was I drove to MS and brought enough gas to get myself and another vehicle out. I brought back 15 family members who either lost their houses, vehicles, etc. because of Katrina. That makes a grand total of 19 people in my house. All but 4 of them have left as of this morning to return home to see what kind of lives they have left. The other 4 will be staying with me indefinately and probably relocating to the Charlotte area permenantly because they have nothing left to go home to.
The point here is that this disaster is "MUCH" larger than just New Orleans and spreads wide. The flood waters of New Orleans are going down and structures stand. Mississippi however looks as if a bunch of drunken college kids had fun on bulldozers for an initiation hazing that went terribly wrong. The entire area will need help... and for a long time. Everything you can think of is needed there. If you know people who are handy type carpeters etc. and are looking to find some solid work for a while... then look no further because everyone I talk to down there sayd they can't get enough people (not even close) to even start cleaning up... much less rebuild.
*GOD SPEED*

through pace university our model united nations team did a fund raiser in the form of a car wash this past saturday. in total we raised $710 and i donated 20. my sister gave 8.
another one heading our way...... this time its ritaWell Rita might as well hit the US because we can't afford for it to hit another country. I hope it hits the very least populated area possible. God has a funny sense of humor sometimes... but I don't see many people laughing at this one.
All I can say is this... GET THE HELL OUT this time... I am sooooooo sick and tired of hearing about the people that didn't or couldn't leave... plenty of time right now... get the hell outta there just to be safe... your friggin' life depends on it. All of my family will be leaving if she jogs north like Katrina did and I already told them I have housing arrangements for everyone. No excuses if people stay. Public officials need to provide the poor and needy a means of transportation to get out. That is the major problem we just experienced with Katrina. Survival of the fitest... or in this case, the wealthiest.
My thoughts and prayers with all of the citizens of southern United States.
