  so i was doing my paper route today and i was admiring all the different colored glazing balls that people have in their yards.

  i like gazing balls and i plan to get one for my yard.

  but i wonder, what is the point of a gazing ball?

  After Katrina, do you now have an emergency plan?

  i know many people who live down south louisiana , were raised to be on guard for hurricanes.

  i thought i heard on cnn that 80% did evacuate out.

  i can imagine trying to get the most valuable things in a car , get my money out of the bank, gas the car up, put water and food in case traffic is jammed, clothes , medicine, pets, contacting family..all of that would be exasperating if some of it was not ready to go.. every year we have tornadoes, flooding, but the ice storms are what we are afraid up my way nw louisiana.

  I`ve lived in Florida most of my life on the Atlantic coast! Always ready to move, quickly!! I have downsized things alot through the years. Most things (pets included) are ready to go when we get the orders to evacuate. But thanks to some posters here I`ve picked up a few other tips too!

  thanks to eveyone who responded with encouraging comments!

  i had a great conversation with the red cross today regarding hosting refugees.

  as of this morning, they were massively mobilizing for immediate life saving but will be puting up another hotline and advertizing for sponsors/hosts.

  Thanks for keeping us updated, and for the current information regarding the Red Cross, I`ll be more than happy to pass this on in my local community.

  Preparing to move unfortunately ourselves this month, but we are trying to find other ways to help.

  *applauding*, thank you so much for posting this! I`m still crying, but for a better reason. I have a son this age and my heart went out to this brave young man. What a fine man he will become, he has been raised well.

  People are animals

  .

  new orleans is becoming an interesting sociological study.

  when the artificial comforts of the human world are gone, all you are left with is your animal instincts.. people are reacting based on their life experience combined with their genetic make up.. some docile, some in aggressive attack mode

  ........and it`s very hot, and humid!! No sleep, no water to drink, let alone take a shower with. Comforts or not it`s almost impossible to exist in the south without the creature comforts as ice, food, water, airconditioning!!! ( or at least fans!! ) Makes one quite irritable, and hostile. I could not picture having to sit on the roof of my dwelling in the hot sun for a whole day, or 2, or 3 before any hopes of being rescued.
