I have started a new community katrinahelpinfo. I have never promoted a community before--I'm sorry if this isn't allowed. I just want to help spread the word, that's all.

I have creasted a community with some helpful links at the following:

Thanks!

Looking for Michael McGinty of Gulfport, MS. Last contacted Sunday night, goes to Gulfport High School. Said he could ride out the storm because his family built the house to withstand it... Is 8 inches of wood enough?

Trying to find Shelia Lusins, Eriks Lucins, and Agnesee Lusins. Last contact from Gulfport, Miss. Any help or information is greatly appreciated, and my thoughts go out to you all searching for your loved ones.

Any info on Gulfport is greatly appreciated as well.

Does anyone know the status of Covington, LA? I have a very good friend who lived there and haven't been able to find out if she will have a place to go back to or not. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, just so you don't have to go looking for your friends, I'm putting together an index of OK people.

My thoughts and prayers to all of you

Does anyone know the complete status of Biloxi? A very close friend of mine is from there. Luckily, she evacuated all the way to Savannah, but she intends to go back home in a couple of days. Has no idea what the status of her house is. I don't know the Biloxi area very well -- are there some parts that didn't get hit as badly as others?
