Just a few hours before her first radiation treatments for Graves' disease, Amityville resident Teresa Barnes hovered by her phone, her health the least of her worries.

Her daughter-in-law, a Louisiana correction officer, had been stranded by floodwaters. Barnes' son, a soldier stationed in Iraq, was beside himself with worry. And it had been days since anyone heard from relatives in New Orleans who were caring for Barnes' 20-month-old grandson when Hurricane Katrina bore down on Monday.

2. I have been angry & sad beyond belief

"Days passed with no word. Christopher called his mother, frantic, on Tuesday, vowing to to get back to the United States and find his family."


Heartbreaking. I said this when the storm first hit. These men & women shouldn't be in Iraq to begin with, now they have to worry about their loved ones at home. This is criminal.


I really am on overload right now.
