I will be making a donation to my local Red Cross.....and hope that it makes a difference.

My heart aches for these people and what they have to face in the coming months.

Vickie - Before I had even read this, I did the same. I was sitting here at my desk - outside is a beautiful late summer day, and was unable to fathom what it would be like if I had to pack up and not be able to go home (if there even was one) for months.

Feeling hopelessly useless and feeling the need to do something, I looked up the Red Cross and made a donation.

Its so wierd - population wise, New Orleans is almost identical to Portland and the surrounding area. I cannot fathom what it would be like for this entire area to have to pack up and leave.

My prayers are with everyone suffering from Katrina.
