    This is a huge, very unnatural monster of a storm, and I am so afraid for the city and all it's inhabitants. Even for the ones fleeing the city, it is very slow going and you wonder what would happen if they were still on the road when this thing hits. Nothing to do but wait and see what happens, and send money to help after...

    this is horrible! it brings back 9-11 memories, WE might not be in danger but the thought of the other people can bring us to tears. These are the kind of things that make uss realize how Christian/nice/scared for others we really are...

    Wow...Everything Newsworthy...I learn about on Blog-Off. Seeing as news depresses me. I didn't know that the hurricane was THAT serious... I guess all we can do is pray for them.

    Like I said in Chief's blog..."Should us folks in Arkansas prepare for the great migration?" ...~Meagan

    I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight with that storm coming in. I am so concerned for those people left behind that couldn't get out. I don't know what to think about the ones who just chose to stay, except that they have had warnings after warnings and nothing come of it that they are taking this one lightly and I fear that they are so wrong this time to do so. This one is scary. Yet, it really could die down before hitting. They have before. That is what I prayed for anyway. God bless all those affected by this storm.

    Having grown up in KS and smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley I have witnessed devastation.... but the thing with tornadoes is they touch and go. The thought of hours of 160 MPH sustained winds is beyond my comprehension. My best thoughts to all of you within her path.

    I pray for the victims , a large number in the U.S. who suffer every year from hurricanes and pray for everyone to find safe ground.

    I heard on the radio today that it's finally landed. I hope everyone is okay, and that whoever is not evacuated right now will soon leave. But all we can do is hope and pray. Sadly.

    I moved from OKC to FL in the last month. I have been in tornados, floods(st.louis'93), and now I live in Florida. I am relativly safe where I am but I have family in New Orleans. It's really frightning to think about the massive distruction they are facing. Not being a religous person I find myself praying!
  • seareach said 2 years ago
    I wasn't paying much attention to this, until yesterday when I heard it was now a Cat 5! How did that happen? I thought they had been predicting much less strength...

    This is awful; when I see the sat photos, it gives me chills. I can't remember seeing one so huge. And then the reporters who are standing in the wind, and literally getting blown away!

    Stay safe.

    I have never seen anything this terrible. My heart goes out to the people in New Orleans, Mississippi, and everywhere in the path of this terrible storm.
  • momoff said 2 years ago
    Ok, I gave $25. Do I get on the front page?

    Dear Thomas,

    Thank you for your generous gift to the American Red Cross 2005 Hurricane Relief Fund. This fund makes it possible for the Red Cross to help nationwide Hurricane disaster victims of 2005 with critical needs such as shelter, food, clothing, counseling and other assistance. It's because of the 2005 Hurricane Relief Fund that our response can be immediate regardless of its location or the community's ability to financially support our efforts.

    Your generous support means the most to the families who rely on Red Cross to help them through some of the most difficult times of their lives.

    Our prayers go out to those affected by Hurricane Katrina and all natural disasters. It seems Hurricane Rita is thankfully not as bad as anticipated.

    ummm yall keep talking about new orleans. does anyone out there know how bad MISSISSIPPI was hit??? The news doesn't do MIssissippi justice. WE are coming together though, unlike some other states.
  • dreamweaver said 2 years ago
    OK-HMMM...The actual hurricane itself was really no big deal, just lots of rain and wind(I slept through it!)...at least until a tree fell in over MY bedroom and a loud thump woke me up. I decided I wasn't leaving until I had to stand on the roof and wait for a boat to come along and rescue me. Sure, evacuate with thousands of other crazy new orleanians in bumper to bumper traffic in a hurry to get the heck out of dodge driving like maniacs on the shoulder of the road causing accidents running into vehicles parked on the side of the road because they ran out of gas waiting in traffic, horns blaring going 2-4 miles per hour with empty gas stations for miles? No thanks! Did that during Ivan didn't wanna do it again. I stayed put until the sherrif came and told me I had to leave...ok, how am I supposed to drive my car through the streets?...umm rivers of New Orleans that resembled the canals of Venice, Italy?
  • cajnhuny81 said 2 years ago
    My prayers go out to ALL people affected by ALL hurricanes this year. I just lived through my first hurricane (Rita). After living in Lake Charles, LA for over 24 years, I'm happy to say I DON'T LIKE HURRICANES!!!! Wind, rain, storm surge, tornados, we had it all. PRAISE GOD we survived it!
