Sigh of Relief

We talked to Kris’ dad tonight.  He reports that her Aunt Helen Jane is safe in New Orleans.

We’ve been very worried about her since she was unable to leave her home and flee the city.

Fortunately, she lives in part of the city that has not flooded.  Her house suffered some damage, but remains dry inside.  I guess she has some food stocked up and will be okay for now.

That’s a load of our minds – the one person we know in New Orleans is okay.  But my heart still goes out to the thousands (millions?) of others on the Gulf Coast who have such a long road ahead of them.
