| what I see on teevee and in print, makes it look as though everyone who
| survived Katrina has now had the opportunity to make contact with their
| loved ones from other areas, but we're still waiting, and it's getting
| pretty scary. so much national attention is on NOLA, and i guess i
| understand it, but Biloxi was flattened too, no electricity, no phones,
| evacuations and families separated, we're not seeing as much coverage.
|
| we signed up with all the "contact and info" places; got one single
| third-hand report that a cousin and her three sons were spotted in one
| of the shelters -- no word since then. everyone manning the info points
| says at this point, there's nothing to do but wait. I remember seeing
| the Baptists bringing cell phones in to one shelter, but no idea how
| many, or if everyone got a chance to use them, or what.
|
| those of you with loved ones in the Gulf coast region -- HAVE you all
| heard from everyone by now? after 9/11, we were able to contact our
| folks in DC by that same evening. during the '03 wildfires locally, we
| kept in almost constant contact with our family outside the area. this
| has been a whole nother story.
|
| there was another report from someone who went back through the area;
| we heard our cousins' house is still sort-of there, roof peeled off,
| lots of structural damage, the pecan trees scattered all over the
| county...the guy frm the neighborhood said there were no vehicles
| around, so most likely they evacced before the worst hit, but i don't
| know -- there were no trees around either, who knows if the cars were
| driven out, stolen, floated away, or what.
|
| i'm worried, i don't have anything of substance to say really, except
| if you're someone who's stuck waiting and worrying, feeling helpless
| because family and friends are going through this and you haven't got
| any first-hand news yet -- i'm with you, and we can all try to stay
| strong together.
|
| i have a sister wh works at the State dept., and on 9/11 there was a
| false report that a car bomb had been detonated AT the state dept., we
| were evacuated TWICE during the fire storms of 10/03, and THIS is
| scarier than either of those situations on a persnal level. when
| there's nothing you can do BUT wait for word, it's very frightening to
| be so helpless.
|
| this is coming out all wrong -- not like those of us who have loved
| ones no yet heard from are in the same situation as the people actually
| trapped there, but that it's pure plain hell not knowing, and i
| defnitely DO feel for others feeling helpless, waiting for word.
|
| God bless Katrina's victims, and every friend, family member, or loved
| one who still waits for word from or about them.
