Re: Katrina Aftermath

Been a reader for quite a long time. My ex-wife lives (or now USED to live) in Gulfport, MS about 1 1/2 blks from the beach. Pretty much can guarantee her new townhouse is gone. I've been unable to reach her, but spoke to her mother. She hunkered down with her best friend in Gautier, MS which is near Pasagoula. Said she has never been so scared in her life, and she is leaving Mississippi as soon as she can. They were in a brand new house about 1 1/2 mi from the Gulf, and the roof almost came off. But they sound like they (luckily) came out OK.

Unrelated news...gas is about to go through the roof. I suggest everyone go and "top-off" their tanks NOW. Latest news from AP...gas in Gulf states is wholesaling at $3.15 a gallon, and they usually have the cheapest in the country.

God bless those on the Gulf Coast....
