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
