Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / August 2005Everyone keep Dorothy and family in their prayers
This hurricane is scary! Heck - we've been getting feeder bands all day - mostly wind - but pretty heavy even this far away. This storm is ver scary. My prayers are with all those who live in its path. I was just watching the weather station .... Has there ever been a hurricane this big? > This hurricane is scary!

You're mad.""How do you know I'm mad?". said Alice."You must be," said the Cat,"or you wouldn't have come here.". they are comparing it to Camille and Andrew. > I was just watching the weather station ....

Nan i heard that the city of new orleans might be uninhabitable for months if the hurricane does it's worst. how awful. thinking of them all chris > This hurricane is scary!

Just got back from my sisters this evening, it was very odd to be sat on a warm calm beach this afternoon, knowing of the devestation that was happening in the US :( SignatureSarah It's an odd world I live in. > > This hurricane is scary!

The same thoughts are here - being so close, yet for us, the storm is pretty much past. Actually, the weather it brought us was a much appreciated break, with some gusty breezes and cooler temperatures. Its one thing for us - many people are saying they are glad it wasn't us. But like all these storms, I hate to see them happen anywhere. Although, it is Nature, and that is what makes this whole planet so spectacular. > This hurricane is scary!

ABC news just showed helicopter footage of New Orleans. It appears as if nearly the whole city is submerged. You can only see the roofs of the houses. If you didn't know any better, you'd think the streets were canals. Hotels and high-rises had just about every single window blown out- the curtains are blowing about outside of the buildings. Shopping malls and stores just utterly demolished. They showed several rescues of people from their rooftops. For those in the US- they said there will be more coverage with additional aerial footage at 10pm on ABC News. I can't even imagine the pain these families must feel. Most in the are have lost just about everything- not only in New Orleans but in Mississippi and Alabama as well. Complete, utter devastation. The few pictures and clips don't do it justice until you watch the aerial footage. Wow. I don't know exactly where Dorothy's home is but the least we can do is keep her and the rest of her family in our thoughts and prayers until we hear from her. -Kara. >ABC news just showed helicopter footage of New Orleans.

I hope her home has sustained very little damage. Nan |
