They are beginning to clear people out the Superdome and sending them to the Astrodome.
There is some fear that the flooding will spread to other areas on the west bank. Pray that doesn't happen.
The army is coming in and there are 4 boats coming with supplies.
Its really, really awful!
The Governor has been on every national show possible in order to bring Louisiana and Mississippi to the forefront in everyone's minds right now. The state is in dire need of assistance. The state just doesn't have the resources to do everything on its own.

Lisa dear, I didn't mean to bother you but it's so good to hear the people in the
SuperDome are getting out. I know all my friends and neighbors here in Ohio
have given to the Salvation Army or Red Cross already. Just let's not let a
week or two go by and forget these people and what they are going through
AND WHAT THEY WILL BE GOING THROUGH !! I'm sure we will continue our
prayers for all of you also!
