Status: offline 		As we all eagerly anticipate some big rain and steel in the creeks our brothers and sisters along the Gulf Coast are going to be dealing w/ the biggest natural catastrophe to come along in recent memory.
It looks like many will suffer the loss of everything they have, including their lives.
Please include these folks in your thoughts and prayers over the next few days. From what it looks like on The Weather Channel and CNN, the residents of these affected areas will be in dire straits for a long while.
God Bless and protect the Gulf Coast.

Status: offline 		Gentlemen,
  While my deepest sympathy goes out to those folks for all their losses I have to ask the deep question.  If you were told to Mandatory Evacuate, and you had the means to do so, and you CHOSE to remain, and were injured where does that leve you?  My prayers do go out to all the folks and I hope they recover soon.

Status: offline 		They've had to do over 1,500 rescues of folks who "chose" to stay, over 400 by air. These people put others at risk by their choice, and should be fined if possible. You free choice, is not always yours alone.
