Shout Out To The Gulf Coast
Portions of the Gulf Coast of the United States including Gulfport & Biloxi, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana have been absolutely devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Cities are flooded, homes and businesses destroyed, power out and unfortunately numerous deaths. My heart goes out to those affected. It appears that relief efforts in certain areas are being hampered by widespread flooding. Some of these towns rely heavily on tourist business to sustain their economies. Much of that business is likely to be lost for the forseeable future until these areas can be reconstructed. Once that does happen, I’d recommend a leisure trip to the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to help those folks get back on their feet again. For those who want to make a more immediate impact, various relief organizations like The American Red Cross could probably use a donation or two to support their tireless efforts to help those affected by the storm.
