Thoughts and prayers with our BOTLs from New Orleans and the
I grew up in New Orleans and have been talking to friends and family all weekend. Hurricane Katrina is shaping up to be the storm that we have always feared.
There are many BOTLs on this board who live in the path of this storm. I hope that you have all made it safely out of town. If you have evacuated and have internet access, drop us a line and let us know that you're doing ok. Regards, Karl |

You are so right. I'm in Jacksonville and safely removed from the storm, but it's almost like a bad dream knowing all these people are about to lose everything. Some their lives even. I'm not so religious, but I wish the best for these people.

There is a related thread in CBNC that has updates from many of the fellas. Let us all keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

After sitting through Charlie in a small room and coming out afterward and not knowing what to expect my heart drops for everyone up there in and around NOLA. There is so much they are going to need and wish for and it will take them so long to get back on their feet. We are still watching the recovery from Charlie here!!! I think Katrina will be a retired name after this year.

Some schools are closing in Montgomery, Alabama which is at least a 5 hour drive northeast of New Orleans. If that's the case, God bless the folks in the Big Easy who are in Ground Zero.
It's weird I was there just a couple of weeks ago for the RTDA. Fox News is broadcasting from the same floor of the same hotel I stayed in on Bourbon Street, the Royal Sonesta. Lots of prayers for New Orleans tonight.
