Kendra, meet Katrina.

Here's the story of what happened to me when I evacuated, copied from my pen-and-paper journal.

8/29/05. Here I am lying on the floor of a Sunday-school classroom in a Baptist church in Port Gibson, Mississippi! It's been a crazy couple of days...

Wow! That is a great story. I think it's wonderful that you kept a record of these events. Hearing the way people come together to help each other out even brings a little bit of tears to my eyes. I'm glad there are such people like that still in the world.

Sometimes disaster brings out the best in people. I'm glad that you had a good experience.

Very good to hear you're safe and were well taken care of. Once you get back to town, i'll buy you that martini.

Nice story!

Are you in Memphis now? That's where SophieKim from the boards lives. She mentioned there were a number of "refugees" at the baseball game she attended. It sounds like inbetween the worrying, there's a lot of boredom.
