pray for them

After what first appeared to be a miraculous non-destruction of the Gulf Coast in the first reports of damage yesterday, things are bad. Really bad. Two levees have broken, leaving at least 80% of the city under (rising) water. This is sending more people to the Superdome (where one person has killed themselves), but leaving the need to get everyone out somehow. Martial Law is in effect in nola...and everything is "deteriorating". And that's just New Orleans.

In Biloxi, MS, hundreds are feared dead and things are such a mess that the mayor has claime dthat "this is our tsunami". Gulfport seems to have been hit hard, but I'm not finding any recent stories about them specifically.

In short...there's a lot of suffering going on down there, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone that's suffering. Everyone's thoughts and prayers should e with them. If you have money, some of that should be going to places like the Red Cross or the Salvation Army, or even Feed the Children (these are all links to the US pages).
