Merh - and anyone else in the path of Katrina.

You are in our thoughts (and prayers). Please check in when you can, just to let us know you're OK!

(and I'll be praying for y'all in church tomorrow!)

1. Thank you, Your Sweet Cheesy Holiness!

O8) I'll be fine, I've boarded up and will pack up to stay inland with family.

Please say extra prayers for Swamp Rat. He has his elderly parents to take care of and they will not leave the city (New Orleans) so he has water, an ax and life vests. :scared:

I'm scared for him, New Orleans is gonna have a lot of rain. :grouphug: Prayer for his Swampness and his family.

:loveya: I'll be on line until late Monday probably. I will head inland Monday a.m. and be staying with family that has a huge generator and plenty of laptops! :hi:

Everyone else in the path of this storm, please be safe.

:loveya: :grouphug:

2. Glad to hear that.

So just keep posting here so we know what you're up to.
Has a mandatory evacuation been made yet?

Also, can anyone get a life raft to Swamp Rat? I mean, it's one thing to care for elderly parents, but quite another when their refusal to leave threatens everyone's lives.

3. I don't think there is anything that will convince him to leave

his parents.

We will just say prayers that this thing finds the swamps and gets bogged down and doesn't hurt anyone.

:hug: I'll let you know how things go. :hi:

:loveya:

4. Be safe, merh

This one looks nasty. :hug: I'm thinking only good thoughts for you and for the others in her path.

5. He's leaving

Good.

6. Saw that.

I really feel for those who simply cannot leave at all... who have no means, and nowhere to go.

7. I know.

I think the Superdome will withstand the brunt... but what about the people in all those little towns scattered all around that aren't even getting mentioned? Are the local school buildings really sturdy enough or on high enough ground?

8. Kicking for my friend.

Glad you're safe, Merh. We're here for you - just let us know what we can do. :hug:
