I just hope it helps... here in Austin I'm happy that I convinced my nephew to leave NO this afternoon... I just wish there's something else I can do to help y'all!

Lori, sorry this is late... made contact with a board member and this info helped...

Will host them tomorrow in Florida if necessary. Looks like I may have to meet them in Mobile... or just westward.

Of course I've warned them of the danger of coming to Navarre as well. But at least we are boarded here and prepared.

Chrisnnavare,

Stay safe and God Bless You.

You'll be in my prayers through this.

Lori

I'm in New Orleans and I'm scared.

They are opening it at 8 AM tomorrow.

Any idea how many people they will accept there? Having night-marish visions of 50,000 people in one small space. I guess its safer than being in the "bowl". I guess as a last resort, what else can some people do?

I just got this:

just got an obviously rushed email from Jan...

"Prayers work...getting out of N.O. ... thanks to all for prayers."

I suppose this means she's heading for safety, thank God! Please keep praying and hopefully Jan will be in touch once the storm passes.

THank you all for your help and prayers!!!!!!!

Mike Sidel just said I-10 was flowing and still very open on TWC.

Angelwing, when your friend and brother are able to return to NO, there are hospices that will take patients with no insurance or $$ to pay for hospice services. The hospice I work for has offices in NO and Baton Rogue.

Thank you mommasue...when she contacts me, I'll tell her (if there is a NO to go home to)

thanks!

This just in- my coworkers were able to get some sort of vehicle and left this am at around 8:00 CDT. Don't know where they are now, though.

My rellatives have all decided to leave and are trying to head west. Hopefully they will make it....

I have family in Gulfport. I spoke with them late last night and told them to get out and come here. They were leaving early this morning and hopefully I will hear from them soon. I am so afraid there won't be anything for anyone to go back to. My prayers to all those affected by this hurricane.
