Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina has hit the Gulf Coast pretty hard. While all of the news channels are letting you know what's going on, there is always another story. I have a close personal friend who's family has lost everything. They are safe, thank goodness and not in the SuperDome, even better, but everything they once owned is either under water or just completely gone. I can't even imagine not being able to return home or losing everything I own.

Of course insurance covers some things but insurance companies will not rebuild the cities destroyed in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. Many of the people displaced by Katrina will never be able to return to the places their homes once stood.

This is potentially the worst natural disaster in the history of this country. We all have a duty to help our fellow citizens. Please donate money, donate blood, volunteer. Do something. Please make sure that if you aren't donating the through the Red Cross that your money is going directly to the survivors.

Please help our sister states rebuild. Remind America why this is the best place country to live and be a good neighbor.
