Do we know of missing people in our DU family??

[tinfoilinfor2005]

Jimmy Jazz has kept track of Merh and will let us know how we can help her when the time is right. Are there other folks who are DU members who have suffered and need our assistance? I will be donating to disaster relief anyway, but charity begins at home, and DU members are sort of like my family.

1. I'm very sad that FarLefty and his family have not been heard from -

at least not to my knowledge.

I'm just sick about this and I'm praying they are safe and sound and just don't have any communication.

2. Frustrated_Lefty and his family have not checked in either

:-(

5. I think we may be talking about the same poster. Wife in hospital and he

has 3 children? I'm just sick for all of them.

15. That's him

his wife kept throwing up and was still waiting to be admitted, from what I recall. FL said that she wanted he and the kids "close by" and insisted they all stay in town (even though the hospital wouldn't allow them to ride out the storm there). I'm still so upset with myself for failing to convince them to take her to a hospital in another, safer city. Other DUers were making similar pleas with him, so I'm sure I'm not the only one lying awake at night worrying about him and his family.

3. Have we heard from MaddyMcCall?

I know Swap Rat has checked in, but has lost everything I thought.

I'm very worried about Maddy. As far as I can tell, she lives on the LA/MS line.

6. I'm worried about her too.

And Swamp Rat. Is he allright?

7. Swampy and his dad are fine, in TN? He had not heard from his mom

and her SO (they stayed behind) in NO yet, last I heard.

9. His mother is fine. See this link:

12. I'm SO GLAD. He was very worried.

8. Yes, and his mother, too. n/t

10. Good news.

Now for Maddy. :scared:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

14. Thanks for the link. I didn't know if there was one going.

If I was a little more computer literate, I would have been able to find it myself. I'm glad we're keeping track for general information now and for future donations.

16. Does anyone know if she evacuated?

I remember that I tried to convince her to evacuate during a previous hurricane, but she wouldn't because she had so many animals. I hope she found a safe place to go this time around.

11. Has BOSSHOG checked in?

I think he was going to try and get out, but I haven't seen a post from him in several days.

13. Not that I know of.

Here's the last I head about him: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4515360#4515742
