Thanks, girly.
We're about an hour northwest of New Orleans and we're not going anywhere. We suspect that a loss of power and some rain will be the worst of it in our area. I'm crossing my fingers for those in the New Orleans area though.
Last year when Hurricane Ivan was due to hit, I was extremely disappointed with the New Orleans Emergency Management System. There was a homeless man who roamed the streets near my former job who didn't have any place to go. After calling EMS and being routed and re-routed to different numbers and/or departments, I was
eventually told that the local transit bus service would provide free transportation the following morning for those needing shelter. No one at EMS seemed to care that a homeless man had no where to go. Anyway, I gave the man the proper phone number and some money and urged him to get to shelter. *sigh*
