Prayers for all in Hurricane Katrina's path

Just want to offer prayers for all who will be in the path of hurricane Katrina. The fact that it is getting stronger and they don't know for sure the path it will take, makes it even more dangerous.

Stay safe everyone! Pets too!:(

Please stay safe everyone and keep your pets safe too. Prayers to everyone in the hurricane's path.

Just said my prayer from Ohio. I have the news on and am following the progress. I called my dad in Texas but he does not think they will see more than winds and some rain. But, prayers of safety and protection going out for all who are in the path. Yes, pets too.

We've had ugly weather on and off all day.

Sending my thoughts to those she hits.

prayers will be said!! :(

I have no TV but glad to know pet talk! especially the news' all about animals! :p

stay dry and safe, folks!! where I am, in california, the largest state - you're getting a big safety prayer from every of us! :)

Sending thoughts to all of you in Katrina's path. Im so glad its gone here, & hopefully after this one, there will be no more for awhile.. Its such a scary thought though, because when it hit here, it was only a category 1.... I can't even imagine the damage it'll do at a 3. :(

Stay safe all.

Yes, I am keeping everyone who will be or may be in Katrina's path in my prayers..we have family down in Louisiana-my mom's brother and sister and their entire families all live in Baton Rouge,LA. We pray to God that Katrina won't come their way but I have a feeling it is. I just read Bush declared a state of emergency in Louisiana and authorities are wanting people in the New Orleans area to prepare, evacuate, etc. The last time they got hit by a hurricane was Andrew in '92 and he was a monster!

Here's hoping everyone is safe!

She's already mean and dangerous. Hope everyone is safe. We're going to get 2 days of rain from her on Tues and Wed, so they say..

My prayers are in to all who are getting her. I'm in the other side of the United States but I will keep everyone in my prayers for all who gets hit. Be safe to you and ur pets...and family and friends who are over there also.




Prayers from Almita Chiquis Muneca and my family.

It's just been upgraded to a Category 4 and is headed straight for New Orleans. I hope everyone will be alright.

I feel so bad for the people in Louisiana. It's now a Category 5 with winds of 175mph. This thing is going to be bad. It's huge. It would cover the whole state of Florida.

Prayers continuing. It's so sad. Lot's of people's lives could be changed forever soon and nothing can stop it. :(

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in Katrina's path. Please stay safe!

Love, Terry, Daisy, and Delilah

I hope everyone is safe if they are in Katrina's path or could possibly be. I couldn't believe it is now 175mph.My mom's family is in Baton Rouge and said they have the materials ready if they need it but they haven't done much preparing until they know that Katrina will come their way-I know New Orleans has evacuated-Baton Rouge is 100 mi away from there but are still on the river. Hopefully they will be careful-and everyone else in Katrina's path as well

Prayers going out from Maryland for all the families and furbabies in the path of this storm. Cessa, Houston (my foster boy) and I will be thinking of everyone and watching for updates.

daisyshuman8, tell them they'd better get out of there before it's too late. This one is worse than the ones Florida had last year. Hotels are being booked fast in TX and even TN. They'll have to drive a good while to get one. I hope they and all the others stay safe.

Prayers for everyone to stay safe and not try to "tough it out." Hurricanes are no joke, especially for low-lying N'orleans!

Oh my gosh! :( What we got was nothing...

Everyone in her path is in my thoughts.... Stay safe!

gosh, cover the whole state...sounds very serious.

I'm praying harder!!

what was the highest record by the way?

Texas sends Lots & Lots of Prayers ****
Please all in the path go to higher grounds & take your furr babies with you.. Me & my babies will be keeping up with the news & praying..

It is getting closer to New Orleans! My family is about 2 hrs away from there (Baton Rouge)-last I heard, Katrina was about 260 miles from New Orleans. It's a low lying city, and the weather forcasters predicts if she hits at the level she is, half of the well built homes can lose roofs and wall structure, even high rise buildings can sway and can possibly collapse, and large appliances and even small cars can be swept away. I am thinking of you guys in her path-I have family down there myself and they have alot of friends down there also, so it is a serious situation in my family right now-worried about their safety. If I hear anything, I will let you guys know how my folks in Baton Rouge are!

I am keeping you all in my prayers-hope that you and your family/friends/pets remain safe during this monster.

Oh and Daisy said to tell the animals to make sure they have plenty of food and water and treats and maybe a toy in case they get scared :)

Adding in my prayers for everyone's safety, and especially Laura "Lauras Babies" and her daughter "Rie-Rie", and son "Dusty's People". Laura is off on the river working, and probably terrified about the storm, and being unable to do anything about it. :( Hope everyone rides it out OK.

I'm so concerned about all the people on the roads trying to get away. Some of the roads are grid locked!!!

I'm praying as hard as I can that everyone finds shelter in time.
This is going to be a bad one, I'm afraid.:(

Gina-I think that Camille was one of the strongest. I keep on hearing the weather people talk about it being as strong as Camille in 1969. I think Andrew was a whopper too in '92-that one cost over a billion. I might be missing out on some others though.

I remember a few years back the one named Floyd-that's my dad and brother's name and I remember saying how weird it would be if Floyd was a big hurricane. He wasn't one like Andrew or Katrina but he definitely made news!

Hey lets all keep this thread updated with the outcome && we may want to group & help out our people {two & four legged}.. I sure would be willing & Dallas not to for from New Orleans..

My prayers go out to those in it's path. Please take care and stay SAFE... and if possible keep us updated on how you and your furbabies are.

Good idea lvpets! I know I will inform everyone on here on my family down in Baton Rouge-in the family petwise, there's a black Lab (Rock),a Lab mix (Jake), and a Shepherd mix (Sam)

I Also Pray for the People of the State of La.

Camille was a Cat.5 hurricane and hit Louisiana in 69... I believe 169 people were killed....

Andrew was a Cat.5 Hurricane...49 people lost their lives,but was The Most Expensive Natural Disaster in History at 28 billion

Katrina is a Whopper and Should Not be Second Guessed....I would not even be comfortable in Gulf Shores of Texas at this point

I hope ALL that need to evacuate have done so...
There was a 9:00 curfew in N.O. ...but I saw a Report where the Reporter was actually reporting from a bar in N.O... They were Having their last Drinks!!

He said that Tourists had No where to go...JUST DRIVE NORTH MAN!!!! JUST DON"T STOP!!! Sleep In YOUR CAR!!

I'm Probably a little over sensitive,But I will say that after last year...and 2 CAT 4s' hitting us...and Living through Andrew...
I will Never Again Stay for a Cat 5.....That is My Breaking Point....And I don't live 20 feet Below Sea Level!!!

I Really Feel for Everybody in LA.,Al.,and the Panhandle right now....You don't Know what Direction this Monster will Turn....

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

My aunt and uncle live in the Panhandle and I imagine they'll get quite a bit of wind. Hopefully that's all.

:(

Prayers for all the people and animals in Katrina's Path. :(

I will pray for all in Katrinas path.

I was watching a bit of it on TV later this aft and it sure does scare the living daylights out of me. Say special prayers for all those involved.

I think Laura's Babies is from down there. Is she out on the boat right now??? I just can't imagine what it must be like.

God, please keep them all safe.

I was thinking of Laura and her daughter too Slick. Is she out on the boat?
Prayers for all and especally for our own .

We might be getting this too.. We are thinking about getting our entire family and leavingto go out of state. I'm not to sure what we are going to do yet... I'll come back on and keep ya'll updated. Take care everyone!

I cannot believe how some people are treating this hurricane-earlier today they had some news report in front of the Gulf and waves were crashing. In the background, people were surfing and walking around acting ignorant behind the camera. I mean, don't they care about their safety???Some take the whole thing casually-it's SERIOUS!

Heard a story on TV today about a marina down in LA where many house boats were being prepared for the storm. Can you believe one of the owners (a mother and her 3-year old) want to STAY in the boat and ride it out? Does she care about her kid's well-being?Sounds like the boat is more important. Sad, sad

Heck I'd be out of that state with Daisy behind me if I knew that hurricane was coming. I'm not going to risk my life!

We're suppose to get hit hard with rain on Tues night through Wed from Katrina if she heads up our way, and that's enough to scare me to pieces. They say that New Orleans especially will never be the same. I'd be peeing myself. I'm petrified just hearing about it. Poor everybody, I'm so worried. I pray everyone remains safe

Pittsburgh is expected to be hit hard with the rain and storms, but my sincecest prayers go out to the people of New Orleans and the gulf coast.

Brian's mother lives in Louisiana and had mandatory evacuation. She drove 13 hours to somewhere in Texas and is now in a hotel. She said it took her awhile before she could find a hotel that would accept her with her 2 cats...I just thank god that she brought them with her (unfortunately I wouldn't have put it past her to have left the cats....but that's another story).
But you'd think the hotels would be a little nicer- they have to know that people are fleeing from Louisiana- what are they supposed to do, all leave their pets behind? That's insane! But she is safe and so are her kitties.

Any news yet? Where is Katrina now??

Lut, Katrina has made landfall a little east of New Orleans. I'm having to follow it on the radio and the internet now since I don't have access to a tv at the office.

You can look at the radar on most any news channel. Try www.weather.com
or www.msnbc.com

I heard the radio announcer say a few minutes ago that a portion of the roof lining has blown off at the Super Dome and rain is pouring in. :(

How horribly sad this storm is. I think the rain we will get tonight through Wed as a result of Katrina will be nothing compared to what the gulf states are enduring.
