Re: ~Laurie~!! YOU'RE BACK
Thanks for asking, yes we are fine. We got back late late the other night. The soffett of our house blew out again (but dh quickly ghetto repaired it prior to deployed so I knew it wasen't 100% secure) and katrina actually ripped the plywood off of our sliding glass door and it was masonary screwed into our brick which is impressive especially since we were far away.
My area was extremely lucky and everyone knows it and we have many refugees here and they are all being loved on, by everyone here because we all have been there and appreciated the help after Ivan and Dennis. A few of my friends took in families and others have taken in pets. We have alot of refuees from Kessler AFB in Biloxi as well as the rest of the Gulf Coast.
I keep laughing at all the posts about how expensive gas is because honestly I would pay anything just to have it since we are tapped out and the gas we are getting is going straight to help the recovery effort.
It's hard for me to understand how people without babies didn't leave (the people of NO and just west of it )especially since I have a youngin myself andl this was my third hurricane evacuation and we left even though we were far just because we feared the storm turning our way and believe me that on my husbands salary we don't have tons of money to be able to afford to leave either.
Very lucky and very thankful to be home!

Re: ~Laurie~!! YOU'RE BACK
Good to hear!! I agree with you...I just do not phathom WHY people would not leave.
We have refugees here in GA too....lots of them living in cars at rest stops....SIL is trying to get our church to let a few families in and we're donating stuff left and right. I wish had more monetary funds to do something, but all I have is time to give.
