jcrow and others in Louisiana

[btrflygrl23]

I''m over in Canada so I''m not sure how accurate these reports are but I am sitting watching the news and heard that Ike hit Galveston very hard and Houston too but that flooding and damage extends as far as Louisiana and am just hoping all the PSers there especially jcrow b/c I know you are from there are safe and ok and that your homes are fine and those of your relatives too.
Please let us know when you have time.
You are in my thoughts

I''m from South LA - very close to the Gulf - I''ve since moved to a larger city, but my parents have been in their home for 35 years - the flood waters from Ike''s surge came up VERY fast. Everyone who had water in their homes when Rita hit had water once again - this is such a blow to these people.

Thankfully, my parents built their home very high and were lucky to not get water in their home for both Ike and Rita - but it''s heartbreaking to watch our neighbors and family members do all their can to salvage their belongings (for the 2nd time in three years) as water is rising in their homes

And when I say water, I mean seeing waves roll in....

I''m actually going home this weekend to help 2 uncles and a few family friends HOSE out their homes and clean and salvage whatever we can

....can you imagine taking a HOSE into your home?!

West Louisiana (closer to Texas) once again received a heavy blow - it''s hard to imagine how some of these people will rebuild again after so soon - I imagine many will not come home

i''m happy you are safe too. you know, hubs and i were thinking the same thing... if something were to happen, i just don''t know if i could rebuild and stay. i have friends in nola that did. and with the scare of gustav, they said the same thing.

Oh I just saw this, I''m so glad to hear you are ok jcrow and I just feel terrible for all the thousands affected by the last batch of hurricanes it is really unfortunate.
Fingers crossed a break for all those affected so that they can start to rebuild their lives.
