RE: Hurricanes

Our Congregation joined with several others in the Miami Valley and sent a
mission trip to work on rebuilding in the Slidell, Louisiana area.  I
couldn't believe some of the photos they've put up of the area as it is
today.  Some of it looks as though the water just went down with the piles
of debris and the boats inlands still, etc.  They've got other photos posted
as well (listed on the blog) that show their progress on the home/homes they
have been working on.  I worried about our Pastor's poor health, but he is
looking quite well from Thursday's photos as he works with drywall.  Anyone
interested can go to http://www.dcmt2006.blogspot.com/ and visit the photo
sites listed there.  (BTW, my pastor is  not the one in the Mardi Gras hat.
He's the older man in the T-shirt and blue jeans in Thursday's photos.
LOL!!!)  

Bonnie, you are so very right that the coastal areas where Katrina and Rita
hit couldn't stand much more damage.  They'd just have to put up a "closed
to habitation" sign.  

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Good!  Hope this is correct...don't think the coastal areas could stand much
more damage...things still look like a war zone along the Gulf coast.
