I'm in Denham Springs which is 1 hour North of New Orleans (2 miles from Baton Rouge).
We got a lot of wind and rain and we lost power for 3 days, but other than that, we're fine.
On the other hand, if you want to buy gas, you'll be waiting in line for close to an hour.
Yeah, the media has a way of re-running the scumbag video. That's anywhere you have an inner city. Those people have nothing to lose and can only see 5 minutes ahead of them. No point in them worrying about tomorrow when they are worrying about right now.
New Orleans is a mess. A real disaster. Dead bodies floating in the streets. The media won't show you that, but it's there.

I asked a question about the serial killer case here in Wichita and that thread got locked by the moderators.
Someone started a threadexpressing sympathy for the bombings in the UK and it got locked by the moderators.
I was told that this forum is for motorcycle talk ONLY and if we wanted to talk about things like this we needed to go to another forum and do it.

I hope that they can quickly round up these people and then get back in there and get the help to the people that need it.
I feel so sorry for them all but these hoodlums need to be stopped.

What about the new developments where they are shooting at the rescue workers, shooting at ambulances, shooting at rescue helicopters..... What are these idiots thinking. They want help but then when someone comes to help, they shoot at them.

No one will mind short sympathies and thoughts for fellow members being posted here, or to hear back from those affected, what they will object to is, folks starting to pontificate on the rights and wrongs, that is not for us to argue over.
When I sent the first posting, it was because I recognised that geographically, we had members who are close to the affected area and I am genuinely concerned for their safety. I can read the newspaper if I want to read all the Gorey details, I just want to know that everyone is safe and sound and let them know that my thoughts are with them.
If I lived nearby I would offer sanctuary to anyone from here that had lost everything, but I fear I am a little far away!

Having taken a direct hit by the eye of Juan as it passedalmost directly over my house a couple years ago, and where we lost many trees-one of which landed on my house, I can only imagine the devistation and misery that was caused by Katrina. Then the flooding. The thought occurred to me-how many Wings got drowned in that flood, and then I cameto my senses and started thinking about the things that really matter.
We can always rebuild, but we can never get back thelost lives.

I'm trying to find a charity that will take me down there. I feel a very stron urge to help out. I can't afford to send money, but I have 2 weeks of vacation time that I can use. Red cross won't let me go. FEMA is too disorganized to begin accepting volunteers. I've filled out an application with the Salvation Army. Mayby they'll take me.
If anyone knows of a charity that is looking for bodies with warehousing experience, first aid, and crowd controll skills, along with strong interpersonal skills, let me know.

good luck to you folks down there. I hope to visit N.O. one of these days. I think they will save that city and rebuild quickly, the south have a long history of rebuildingand won't let it go that easy. just you watch the support from the rest of the states once they get organised, it will turn around fast. stay safe.
