At 8:22 am Monday,

Laura and the Towboat John M. Donnelly were reported to be at
Lower Mississippi River mile 700.6 -
about 30 miles southwest of Memphis, Tennessee,
still headed NORTH and away from Katrina.

The National Weather Service is predicting that by the time Katrina
moves north to the Donnelly's location on the river on Tuesday,
the storm should have lessened to below hurricane force.

Now let's hope that her house, Furkids and Relatives are all OK!
