Genesis

I can't think of anything deep to say for the first post, so I'll just ramble on.
I am a Southern woman, lived here my whole life. Right now, we are all reeling from the effects of Hurricane Katrina, our hearts at the same time breaking for our poor brothers and sisters in dire conditions and breathing a sigh of relief as in, thank god it wasn't us. We thought we had it bad in Ivan, boy, were we wrong. We never went hungry. Or had to see the dead in the streets. Jesus, what are we going to do?

Who would want to move here now? Especially close to the coast? Two states worth of coast line, gone.

Most people are angry at the folks shooting at their rescuers, stealing guns, etc. However, I can't help wonder how I would react in the same situation. Utterly destitute.

I hope everyone takes a moment to give ten bucks or something to the Red Cross. ESPECIALLY people in the South. I remember after Ivan, the Red Cross was so there with hot meals, ice, etc. They are miracle workers.
