Due to Hurricane Katrina…

The National Guard have just entered the city. Hopefully this is the beginning of order.

One thing that would help fix a lot of problems would be to put "ONE" agency in charge of the relief efforts. A four start General would have a good chance with all the tools available to them. All the finger pointing going on now from one agency to another is fruitless. Oh well hopefully things will start getting better now. I wanted to do more, but I will have to wait as I cannot get any farther West than Mobile. I am also not sure why Marshal Law has not been "officially" put in effect. if it was ever needed this is the time.

Does anyone know Caity's last name? If so, there are several missing persons/found persons databases online for this particular disaster. Here are a few:

Yoda might know I wish I did. I can't stand the thought she may be hurt.

I'm really worried about Caity. Seeing all the devastation on TV and elsewhere is making me scared and more upset for her, and everyone in this situation. I hope she is ok.

so am i, i keep watching the news, hoping that i would see her...
but the police are working overtime and are exhausted, so i don't know when we might hear from again....now that help has finally arrived down there, who knows what will happen...

i just hope that we hear from her soon....

Don't worry, Caity isn't on the list . (Thank God!!!)

Make sure you check a few of them, though. They're all a little bit different.

I'm sure she knows that our thoughts and prayers are with her whatever she is doing. I pray she stays safe and strong.

Let's not get morbid for cripes sake.

She'll be fine. Caity is strong and smart and was probably at work. She'll check in somehow when she's able.

I wasn't being morbid, chief. If you want to make sure she's alright (or at least make sure she's currently not listed as missing), you might as well use these resources while they're available. If my reply came off a bit cold, I apologize. I'm really worried about Caitlyn, too, and I'm actually pretty confident that she's alright. But come on, I would expect that if someone hasn't been heard from, you'd want to check with as many credible sources as possible to determine if he/she is alright. That's why I listed a few "found" lists, as well. If Caity happened to turn up on one of them, it would likely tell us where she is.

You're just being realistic, and helpful.
jrs, thanks for checking!

No problem, after Sleezy asked about Cait's last name I wasn't sure until last night. It just popped into my head and I ran to computer to check for her name.

Like Brian says, I am confident she is ok. Caitlyn is a strong, positive and intellogent woman. She'll make it out of this.

Caitlyn!!! Say something!

Thanks for all the well wishes... I can't stay long but I did want to let you guys know I was okay... just extremely tired... and at a loss as how to describe what I've seen in the last few days...

Just glad to know you're alright. Hope you're safe and sheltered. I can't imagine what it's been like down there, but we're all hoping and praying for the best. Stay safe, Caity!

Glad you are ok!!!
