“I’m safe, have a bunch of clothes, my truck, money and still have my job. Just need a place to stay when I leave work every night.”
Depending on what part of the state you are currently working in I might be able to help you find a place to stay ( if it is still needed )

Hey Man,
That’s a very unselfish, and simply awesome thing to offer.
Mr. White,
What is the mosquito situation like down there so far? I am on a team that’s waiting for word to go down there and execute some extreme prejudice on those nasty little malaria/dengue carrying bastards.
Take care of yourself,
GAINER

I’m good thanks. They’re setting up cots at work and when my parents are allowed to go back to their home I’ll stay there.

Skeeters weren’t even noticable the two times I went down there. But others said they were bad in another location last Thursday. So I’m sure a lot of eradication is needed.

I’ve read most of the posts on Katrina here and want to clear up a couple of things.
The city made it through the storm in pretty good shape. It was afterwords with storm water still in the lake that the levees broke in two major places. One flooding the city and one flooding the 9th ward and St. Bernard parish. People have said they were getting ready to go outside and assess damage when they were literally chassed into their attics by the water flooding through the levees.
The shootings, looting, robberies are not as bad as the news reported. They were happening but some news reports were ridiculous, especially CNN’s. I knew two nurses at two seperate hospitals and they struggled but those hospital invasion reports are b.s. People really went after all stores for food and water and others took this opportunity to steal the drugs.
The people that remained in the city are mainly the poor or stubborn. Story after story you hear people say that they couldn’t afford to leave. I’ve seen rescues of huge people, infirmed people. I know of many people who thought they’d be ok and stayed behind only to be rescued or make their own way out of the city. The news makes it out to be a black/white thing but the news crews are in the city. The people that mostly stayed in the city are the poor that couldn’t get out. The news is not reporting the thousands of mostly white people that are trapped or rescued in St. Bernard parish. I still have not seen much footage down there. That is where I know the most people. I think everyone I know has lost their house or their parents have lost their houses in St. Bernard. It’s almost 100% under water while the city is not.
As far as the monies people say Bush cut, it’s a litte off base. Bush, or whoever, cut funding for future levees and storm protection. The money was not earmarked for the levees that failed rather new levees and pumps for new suburban areas on the outskirts of the city.
Police have quit but not in those numbers being reported. There are 200 or so that haven’t been accounted for that are trapped, left, or are taking care of their own families or whatever. Or are working without anybody knowing they are out there. One of the cops that killed himself was the spokesman for the force. He lived by me and lost his house like I did. Reports were he was heading into a funk that in retrospect people noticed to late.
I’ll check back in here later to answer some questions if y’all would like but I will not debate anything.

I appreciate your report. I also am an evacuee of New Orleans who’s home is on the west bank. A police officer passed by my house last night and said that my home was o.k. at least from the outside so i am grateful. I am now residing in Montgomery,Alabama and the people have been very kind and generous. That goes for FIMA,my in-laws,the red cross etc.
