I've been reading alot of Katrina threads and I appologize for yet another one but the depth of destruction from this catastrophic event is truly worthy of them imho.
I'm not sure how many of you know FanTC but he lived about 20 yards from the oceanfront in Mississipi. He and his young wife were initially going to try and ride the storm out because the highways were so congested. Thank goodness they decided to use the backstreets to evacuate at the last moment because the entire apartment complex where they lived (and more) were completely obliterated.
They didn't get far before the beast hit but they have survived albeit with damage to the car and a few cuts and bruises. FanTC and his wife are now living in their car in a parking lot. There is no home to go back to, there is no work to go back to as Carol worked at a casino that no longer exists. They have no furniture, very few clothes and very little else.
Although hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by this hurricane I thought you guys might like to know that it also touched one of our own. They are a sweet young couple and FanTC has been working in the industry for 3 years now. Perhaps you can spare a prayer or two for them also ... I know they can use all they can get.
On another note, I know FletchXXX, mardi gras and a few others have friends and family in some of the badly hit areas and my prayers go out to all of them. I hope everyone is safe.
*hugs*
