Yikes!!

I suppose thats quite the appropriate response to whats happening out in the gulf coast. Its extremely disheartening to see the plight that New Orleans is in in the aftermath of Katrina. Several pronounced dead and still counting, and an estimated $16bn worth of damage in the area. At times like these I'm kinda glad that I live up north/ midwest. Granted we have the occasional tornado but nothing quite on the scale that the Gulf coast has had to endure this week.

The red cross and several other DMAT teams including MI-1 have been mobilized to help with the victims. If you can participate/ help either by volunteering time or making a donation to redcross, make sure you do.
