I know Starr [beach4so....Dominic] is in the New Orleans area. And Kara is in Mobile. Any others??

I live in North Miami.

We have HUGE trees down eveywhere. It is a major mess. Windows were blown out of some buildings. There are still thousands without power here.

We were lucky and didnt have any flooding. We just received the strong winds.

I am praying for the people who are getting hit next. I hope anyone who can leave the area to do so.

It was only a catagory 1 for me, and frankly, it was scary.

I still have to board up one window, but everything else is done.

Still no rain here. Let us know when it starts raining your way. Still nothing yet here.

I hope when you read this you're safe and dry and have not had much property damage from this storm.

Jordan,
Again, glad you're okay.

You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers, along with anyone else in the path of this storm.

Thanks for posting this, Lymetoo!

I keep watching the news coverage. I hope you are all safe and sound when this blows through and over.

Do we have any members there?

Our prayers are with all of you. Reach out and hold our hands.

Love,
Angela

Kara, how's it going? Robin?

I've been worrying about others. I've been thinking so much of Kara as I know she's in Mobile.

I hope everyone is safe.

Im praying for your safety. I feel so bad for everyone who is suffering.

Thinking of you, your friends and family.

It's possible, but I hope not.

Now we've got people in the path of the tropical depression, and resulting tornadoes in IL, IN, TN, GA, etc.

I haven't heard from her today and the circuits are down. I did speak to her last night on her cell phone.

I'm really worried about how her house is. She, like the rest of us, doesn't need one more financial disaster.

DR Wise***'s in-laws live north of New Orleans and they are currently in Jackson, MS. Dr W thinks their house is mostly OK. She's still trying to find out for sure.

PS....the lovely cell phone co's are apparently charging people roaming because of the emergency situation. So that's why I haven't heard from Bev. DR W said she must have forgotten to email me.

My prayers are with you all and my heart is sad for all who have lost loved ones and homes and businesses. My God give you all strength.

But thank God they at least are safe.

Still very concerned about other relatives there...

My prayers are with all who have been effected.

Melanie, glad your family is safe!

I just can't begin to imagine how these people are able to cope with the situation.
I thought Hugo was terrible, but this is so much worse.

Yea for Southern accents!! and I'm a very proud native Houstonian tonight! Thank you, Houston and Texas for offering the Astrodome and your hospitality to the storm victims!

House is fine trees down, power lines ect. Main thing we are safe. We will be here for another few days for sure. We are looking at no electricity for a few weeks.

They have started moving some from New Orelans to Houma which is only 10 miles from my house. The reports are they are not staying in the shelters and have actually started roaming the streets. I am praying they just want fresh air and the looting doesn't start.

We are thinking my husband will go home first then myself and kids will go in a week or so when the lights are back on and if it is safe. He doesn't want us there if the looting and all will start around our town.

I will check back when i can, trying not to tie up phone line with computer. Waiting for more news from home.

Call me if you need me!...or if you're passing through!

They are sending lots of troups, so maybe some of those will be sent over to Houma.

Tell the family hello for me!
