New Orleans the next Atlantis???

[Outlaw1]

I just donated money to the red cross. I am having a hard time with going out of town to have fun this weekend when Americans are dieing in filthy, flooded, diseased, dangerous streets in the south. No one deserves to suffer or die that way, well no one except the looters (looting non survival stuff) and others who are harming people. I wish there was more I could do...

That is damn fine of you.

We tried donating online via the red cross but the site wasn't able to process anything. It's flooded. We are probably going to hit up the salvation army and red cross stuff at the fair on sat and drop some cash in it.

I was able to donate money through the red cross link on amazon.com, it has a running total of the amount donated also. Sounds like troops have arived with supplys to the worst of the areas.

Thousands of people around the US who have been planning on traveling and submitted for passports have been just smacked as well. New Orleans is said to have the largest passport processing center and all those applications are now under water.

Plan tickets being canceled all over the country

Fed Ex among big names that can be hit hard by the gas issues.

Biggest event for NO, Mardi Gras, where much needed tourist income would come from is doubtfull, to even be considered to happen.

Grains not getting out of the country from the midwest (all the way up the mississippi river) Prices for the US will Plummit and kill farmes pocket books, while prices in other countries will sky rocket due to shortage.

The list of those effected all over continues to grow. It's just amazing. I've been home all day and glued to the TV.

The owner of the company MattD and I work at offered to match, twice over, anything employees donated to the relief effort in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. :D

That's awesome busineses are doing that. The company I work for will probably donate around the million mark. They better. They make all sorts of shit for NASA, the Army, and other goverment companies. Being a multi billion $ company they need to step up.

That's great of you guys to Donate!

DSMSTYLE- Yes, it's gonna have a huge impact. Many people i know don't listen to me but those are the same people that never said gas would hit $3.50(and it is now). They think some big tornado just hit those 3 states. Mississipi alone is losing a half million $ a day in lost taxes from the casios on the gulf. This may have took a direct hit on 3 states but overall, it will hit all 50. Technically it will impact any country we do business with as well because the American consumer is pinched therefore cutting expenses in many areas. We know which countries we buy a great deal of shit from!

They need all the help we can give them down there. If each and every person in the U.S. could donate just $20, that would be roughly 6 BILLION and we know there are people out there that can donate way more than that. It's just an example.

Baton Rouge is gettin crazy with all these idiots runnin around. Sure there are a few sane ones around, but for the most part they all need to get the fk out. That sounds cold-hearted but y'all would understand better if you was here in the middle of this crap!

Matthew 7:24-29 (English Standard Version)

Build Your House on the Rock
24"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

I am just posting in what my opinion seems relevant. A warning that has been around for centuries. If you don't like it, don't read it.
