Katrina Devastation
 

I just want to take this time to say that our hearts are out to all those effect by this devastating hurricane. I've been watching the coverage via cnn/msnbc/fox and cant even fathom having to deal with seeing or being effected by the destruction that hurricane has caused in real life. I'm sure its even worse then how it looks on TV.

I want to urge those that can help to visit the red cross or salvation army website and give what you can. They are going to need a lot of help.

I've been watching the video footage from up here in Canada, and I'm just devasted. My heart goes out to everyone suffering through this. :(

If anyone would like to see what is, imo, the best "documentary" of what Katrina has done to New Orleans, go to this site. Take the time to read the guy's captions with each photo. It gives a different, and likely more accurate, story of just what they have gone through than what is being fed to us by the "official media".

:( Cairenn's link to the pictures is dead - If anybody copied it somewhere or finds it again please let me know... I would love to share it with some friends of mine.
