I know everyone is praying and sending good thoughts out to the people in New Orleans. My fellow concert-goer Kristin (gypsyrhiannon) lives there. She has evacuated safely, and our greatest concern is for those whose lives are in danger, but let's hope the majority of her things are salvageable (indeed for everyone whose home is in its path).

Looks like maybe New Orleans missed some of it, hopefully the Levee's hold

And the thing is, I was just driving through that area like a month ago on the Stevie tour. Sad

Hey y'all. We just got our power back. That was a bitch, but I have no room to complain, considering how it is for people in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and other parishes. I'm glad Nancy let us know that Kristin evacuated. I'm still concerned about some people I know who live in and around New Orleans. It could have been worse, but it certainly isn't good.

Thanks for checking in and letting us know you're okay. I've been watching the news all day. All of you living in that area, please be careful.

I just found out that my boyfriend, through his job at Penn State University, got emergency funding to go down and study the crisis management aspect of this hurricane (his Ph.D. dissertation was in hurricane crisis management). So it appears that I might hear some interesting information from "the inside".

It certainly looks bad, especially the picture of the superdome! I had no idea that the roof had blown off that much.
