Well, about two weeks ago, Katrina came and destroyed Louisiana giving Mississippi and Alabama the worst side. Now, this storm, Rita, is coming for Louisiana/Texas border either way, we will get the worst side of it -- danged if we do, danged if we dont. There is no use in trying to leave now, it will only take you 16 hours to get somehwere that normally takes 1 hour. Please, keep us in your prayers.

Well, finally after 3 days, we get electricity. Our house was ok, but our car had a tree fall on it. Also, my school had 4 inches of water on the first floor (highschool side). If we keep this up, we will be in school until August lol. Hope everyone else who lives down here came out ok.

Glad to hear you came out (relatively) ok. Cars can be replaced; lives can't.
