Thanks for thinking of me. Laurie and I evacuated to Lafayette, La., to stay with relatives. We're safe and our families are safe. I have no idea whether our apartment is dry or under 15 feet of water, but at this stage the most important thing is to get relief to New Orleans. There are thousands of people--including infants and elderly, infirmed people--running perilously short of food and water and the federal government appears to be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem. We need to evacuate people to Texas and elsewhere immediately or else thousands will certainly die. Please pray for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and if possible make a donation to the Red Cross.

Mark, I`m sincerely relieved to know that you and yours are safe. Up here in the northeast (and recently back from NYC), I can only imagine the reality of what you`re all facing. I know I speak for all of us regulars at the site in wishing you and all afflicted by this tragedy the speediest possible recovery of your lives. As for those who have taken advantage of the opportunity to mock and deface this foum: X#?Q%&* THEM!

We knew it was going to be bad, but no one could imagine this much destruction. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. We pretty much decided the Red Cross was the best bet in our choice of charities to send a donation. It's good to see you ditto that.
Take care and a lot of people are thinking of you all.

I forgot to mention that after hurricane Andrew I heard a message on my car radio saying that Burt and the orchestra along with Alan Thicke who was the opening act would perform a concert the next evening and all agreed to send all the money to the victims. They were in town entertaining for a corporate function. It wasn't a sell out but in light of the one day notice I thought very good. I gathered 2 lady friends and off we went.
