As I said yesterday I have been captivated by Katrina. She was nothing short of a monster. So big that the outer bands were felt here in Atlanta.

At first I was just in awe of what a powerful force of nature she was. Then I worried for all the people who could not escape he wrath. I was angry at President Bush for taking away the National Guard when they are so needed here. Now I am in a state of shock. This is really bad.

New Orleans is under 10 plus feet of water in some places. The lake is pouring into the city and people are trapped in their attics and on their roof top and no one can save them. The water in the streets is full of gasoline, household chemicals, and what not. There are bodies found floating in the streets. There are numerous gas leaks everywhere.

The cost for this storm will be felt by everyone. Gas prices have just hit another all time high. major funding will be needed to rebuild the areas destroyed. I hope everyone will be willing to give even more. Please consider giving:

In my lifetime I never thought I would see any single event that would have had killed so many people and have such far reaching consequences.

Now I have seen two.
