I'm just now starting to get caught up on the reports of the devestation Katrina caused to the Gulf Coast. Terry has been concerned because some of her sewing club acquaintances live in New Orleans and she knew they had to have been affected by the flooding and evacuation. She has heard--in a round-about manner--that they are all safe but that their homes and places of business and, in at least one case, their pets may have been lost.
If you haven't done so, may I suggest making a donation to one of the many charities designed to help in times like these. Don't expect the world community to come to our aid as we go to theirs time and again. I would highly recommend the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army but there are many other good organizations out there that are taking donations and supplying aid.
Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit has lots of other suggestions.
We've made our donation. How about you?
