"Thank God for Nancy who NEVER forgets the victim."
Hi Canadian Outrage~ I don't mind Nancy either. I think she is so passionate due to her own victim status. She truly does care about the victims of crimes.
Speaking of victims, I just read a thread about the hurricane victims. According to the thread, there are actually thousands of un-reported deaths in Mississippi. Unbelieveable and so sad. It sounds far worse than words can describe.
The water is still rising in New Orleans - Up to 20 feet was just reported on Fox radio. I fear for those people's lives and don't understand why they haven't been taken to higher ground. They've been in the Superdome since Sunday with no sanitation or electricity. The City is sinking with people trapped inside or on their house tops. Only God knows just how many are clinging to hope as they wait to be rescued. How ironic that the two states of Natalee's Mom and Dad, were hit by this monster of a storm.
Prayers for all who have been affected by this horrible tragedy.
Hi Pepper. You know I thought of the same thing about Natalee's Mom and Dad. I really hope that neither of their homes was damaged in any way. Like they need any more heartache. I don't think Birmingham took a big hit but I think Dave lives in Meridian doesn't he? Meridian took a major hit. Letitring also lives in Meridian I think. I sure hope she is okay. I wish we would hear.
As to the folks on roof tops and in the Superdome. Yesterday they got at least 1200 people off of roofs and today they are evacuating the Superdome. I know there are many thousands more people in the city in their attics etc. The sad thing about these people is that they REFUSED to evacuate. They were going to "ride it out" and were drinking and laughing it up. Now they are in severe problems and the State Police and the National Guard are doing all they can as fast as they can. This is a very hard lesson to learn for those who survive it. And the aftermath is going to be indescribable. N O will NOT be habitable for I'll bet at least a year. It will be about 5 or 6 months until they can really start cleaning it up and then the fact is they must REbuild the entire city. It's a DISASTER of biblical proportions as has been said before.
