[Howlin]

If you or your family is in the path of Hurricane Katrina, if you would like to, please "sign in" here so that we can keep track of our people as this storm progresses, especially after the storm has passed.

[Howlin]

Please do not post any hurricane information on this thread; use it only for names and/or locations, please.

Please try to make arrangements to contact SOMEBODY here at FR to let them know how you are as soon as you are able to.

And please check back in here on this thread when you are able to log on.

In other words, we're taking roll here...

Signing in from Sorrento, LA. Heading to the shelter in an hour or so. Will report back whenever I get access to power, computers again, which may not be for a good while.

God speed and good luck all you coastal LA, MS, and AL Freepers.

[Mo1]

PLs pray for family members I have in Gulfport (Brother-I-L, Niece, Aunt) and also in Ft.Walton Beach (Brother, relatively out of harms way it looks like now).

[Rebelbase]

"we're taking roll here..."

Poppy seed, please.

[Gabz]

I just hope we hear from everyone BEFORE September 28 :)

[Txsleuth]

I know you don't live in south LA....but are you guys OK?

[Howlin]

Good luck to you!

[deport]

Bump.... Prayers for those that are in the path of this storm.

[Alia]

Signing onto the Ping! (And thank you!)

[js1138]

Cloudy in Jacksonville. I'm only responding because I was pinged.

I hope eveyone in the path has already evacuated.

[Howlin]

Crap.......that's what I get for posting and reading at the same time!

[Lemondropkid31]

It looks like I am OK here in the Houston area. This is a great idea, Howlin.

[shield]

Great idea....most of my family lives in Texas...only friends in Louisiana who've arrived in Houston this AM...

[Pelican 5]

Pelican Five lives on Wilson Road in Folsom, Louisiana between the cities of Covington and Hammond. Although I have a "Folsom" address, I actually reside in Tangipahoa parish because Folsom is the nearest Post Office to my home.
I am located between the cities of Hammond and Covington.

I am working at the Joint Operations Center for the National Guard, currently at Jackson Barracks, but I don't know for how much longer I will be here before we make a move to another place. I work the night shift so I don't know what plans are being made right now.

Trust me that we are planning and preparing for every thing that we can conceive might occur. Our efforts and resources may be overcome by a higher power on a temporary basis.

I did the same duty for Hurricane Andrew and worked for 21 straight days in what amounted to 20 hour shifts. The only way I got relief was because I had to go overseas for a preplanned tour of duty to Belgium.

It is my job and I can't imagine me doing anything else. Fortunately, my wife understands and does what any military wife does - copes.

[Hand em their arse]

Don't mean to take up a post on ya here Howlin, but sending up prayers for all of you in Katrina's path...

Godspeed, and stay safe, ok?

[NRA2BFree]

My niece Shanna and her family live in New Orleans. My brother David, niece Shelby and their families live close to Mobile Bay, AL.

[Howlin]

Well, I'm a lot older than when we use to do this "back when" and I can't remember anymore who says what.....I figured, let's get them all in one place where we can go back and check on people.

Glad you're safe!

[30 something american]

signing in from Plaquemine (not the parish but the city) located nearly central between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

Staying put....

TS

[Blennos]

Boarding up and battening down here in Baton Rouge. We expect to get the western side of this beast and hope to keep our heads above water.

[Howlin]

No problem at all.

Maybe I didn't put it very well; let's just let this thread be about the PEOPLE we're praying for.

Thanks.

[Howlin]

Don't forget to check back in when you can!

God speed.

[proudofthesouth]

Stay safe Freepers! I'm in northern Alabama and we're expected to get tropical storm winds here Tuesday.

[Gabz]

God Bless.

[Flyer]

Not in the path and back from Crawford (WOOHOO!) bump

[Howlin]

Well, if you're here posting, I'll assume you're all ready, right?

[DollyCali]

most excellent thread idea..for those who are still at computer to respond.

so far we are safe in Ohio...

prayers to all in the path.

[the Deejay]

Thanks for the ping, Howlin...

I'm following the hurricane on tv.

I live in Nevada.

[sinclair]

All's quiet in Baton Rouge so far. Will post periodically with updates. Glad I'm not on the Mississippi gulf coast or in New Orleans.

[MozartLover]

My son is in the WI National Guard and is currently stationed at Camp Shelby, MS for overseas training. If anyone hears anything about Camp Shelby I would surely appreciate it if you would let me know. I can't get ahold of him; all I know is that they are battening down and staying put.

[the invisib1e hand]

Godspeed.

[the invisib1e hand]

we acknowledge that our fellow Americans on the gulf coast will bear the brunt. thx.

[AntiGuv]

That's a whole lotta freepers in the path, because this storm is probably gonna cause devastation (tornados & flooding) all up the Eastern US. Camille killed as many people in Appalachia as it did on the Gulf Coast.

[theelephantway]

Good luck to all in MI, LA, & AL!! from Bel Air, MD

[tomkat]

Hey, yankees checkin' up on ya ping !

Are y'all ok so far ??

[Blennos]

Boarding up and battening down here in Baton Rouge. We expect to get the western side of this beast and hope to keep our heads above water.

[Inspectorette]

Godspeed and prayers for all Louisiana freepers who are in the path of this monster hurricane. Please, please, DON'T try to tough this one out!!

[Carolinamom]

Someone reported that cajun girl, who lives 50 miles from NO, is in MO (they think). She has not posted for several days.

[Ellesu]

I'm staying put in Baton Rouge. Appreciate your prayers and also for my family members who are staying in Ascension Parish. I expect to see pics etc. posted on these threads so I can view them when my power comes back on. LOL. I will be here off and on until then. Everybody hunker down and hang on. It is so very comforting to know so many people from all over the states are concerned and thinking of us in Louisiana. I also am so appreciative of all the Louisiana FReepers I have met since these Katrina threads were started. Everyone of them have emailed me and voiced their concern, offered whatever we needed. Thanks and good luck to all.

[tomkat]

Good thinkin' re this thread, lady.

Wouldn't it be nice to wake up Tuesday morning and see that we'd worried for nothin' ?

[trillabodilla]

Checking in. This is Trilla and my family and I live just north of Baton Rouge, LA.

We are hunkerin' down, watching TV coverage of the storm, and, of COURSE, FReeping for as long as possible!
