Thanks Ross.  Your prayers must have helped.  We dodged the bullet
     this  time.  Somewhere between 700,000 to 900,000 area folks departed
     to places from north Mississippi, Texas, west/north Louisiana, and
     Arkansas.  We were lucky to have friends in Lafayette.  They shared
     floors and furniture among seven people (one bedroom apartment, three
     days).  On our migration westward (interstate highways were parking
     lots) a State trooper told us that they were prepared to handle
     thousands of drowning victims over a few weeks.  Lucky? YES.
 
     Now please pray for the people affected in Florida, Alabama,
     Mississippi, and Georgia.
