Thoughts and Prayers with Louisiana and Texas

Three years ago, we all watched tragedy slowly but ruthlessly unfold with Hurricane Katrina. Let's hope and pray Mother Nature spares our fellow citizens the worst today, and that all in government learned from the mistakes back then.

The evacuation, at least, seemed far better planned and executed.

In the meantime, I always find the best way to help from afar is to give directly to the Red Cross. You can do so at http://www.redcross.org/.
