I agree Pompano. This is your worse nightmare. I fear for the people who are still there. I cant remember ever seeing a hurricane that covered the
entire Gulf of Mexico with such a white blanket and such a well defined eye....very scary. We should all pray for those people.
New Orleans is a beautiful city with a very unique mixture of people. I hope that they all survive.
As the Mayor pf New Orleans said....."God Bless Us"

i love the big easy, best eating and drinking in the world!!
this will be bad, but after some clean up look for travel specials as the resorts and hotels strive for new biz to feed the coffers. by mardi gras
there will be a lot of rebuilding done, enough to enjoy some of the area.

Prayer Helps ?
The only reason I would take issue with the statement "We should pray for those people" is that, statistically, there has to be a good percentage of
really rotten people affected whose deaths will be a positive development. We "could" pray that God will help those who deserve it. Since he keeps
the books, he would know who's who. However, since he DOES know better than we do, wouldn't he make his determination based on value rather than the
prayers of strangers ? Just wondering .
I see where the NFL "Saints" have a real problem on their hands. It doesn't look like they'll be using the Superdome anytime soon and if they could,
how would anybody get there ? Maybe God is irritated with their using the name of some of his workforce.

Getting Out of Town
It was just reported on the news that the Governor of Louisiana has stated that they need to evacuate the ENTIRE City of New Orleans. There is no
prospect of being able to provide the basic necessities of life, including potable water.
Who would have ever imagined that they would see the day in their lifetimes when a major U.S. city would be destroyed so badly that it would have to
be emptied out ?
Incidently, while waiting for my wife this a.m. at the Periodontist, I picked up a copy of U.S. News and World Report (July 18) and it includes a
feature article on the possibility of a disastrous Hurricane hitting New Orleans. Unable to finish before my wife's work was done, I asked if I could
keep it.

God Bless all the People, no matter their Religion, Creed, or Color. May they rest in peace in Their Heaven>Eternity, Paradise or What ever.
If you know that God is in your heart, you never have to Question. Question God is for those poor Souls who have no Hope or Faith in their
Hearts.
Judge Not, Yea yee be Judged!!!

At least everyone doesn't have the mentality
of surfer jimbob! He wishes it would hit Rosarito so he can watch it from some tourist destination.

On MSNBC on the internet there is a 26 minutes helicopter ride up and down the coast that is heartbreaking. Everything is flattened.
The video is called Gulf Coast Devastation. It is under the News Video section.

Donations
What would be really great is if every one that reads Nomad sent $5. $10. $20. or more to help support the Red Cross or the Salvation Army. Look up
your local Chapter on the web. Make sure you say where money is to be donated in the Memo. They really need the money to help these people in a BAD
way.
Just a thought I had. I droped my ck off today and will be doing some Fund raising for The Salvation Army as I am a Volunteer for them and the Red
Cross.

Governor's Evacuation Recommendation
The Byline on the story is dated yesterday at 6:13 PDT.
By DOUG SIMPSON
Associated Press Writer
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that
everyone still in the city, now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers, needs to be evacuated.
"The situation is untenable," Blanco said, pausing to choke back tears at a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking."
The breach of two levees Tuesday meant the city was rapidly filling with water and the prospect of having power was a long time off, the governor
said. She said the storm also severed a major water main, leaving the city without drinkable water.
"The goal is to bring enough supplies to sustain the people until we can establish a network to get them out," Blanco said.
