Just as during the 9/11 disaster, we are all afforded the amazing ability to get a news (including pictures) immediately of the New Orleans - Gulf Coast disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina.
The TOTAL devastation is incredible. It could have been us.
Hurricane Charley threatened to come right up Tampa Bay, the worst scenario for us according to local planners.
You have to feel the pain of the many displaced people you see on news broadcasts.
The power of the internet is evident again when I realize that if this had happened to me I could be located, in time, by my internet address. I could communicate with worried friends and family from some stray location - assuming I had survived.
Help these people get out of the disaster zone to where they can be safe and can communicate again.
NOW is the time to help these survivors. Tampa groups have already started planning fundraisers and contribution drops. This is great - BUT do something NOW !
Give to the RED CROSS NOW ! As I listen to the news I hear a reporter saying "people are dying now. A man is laying dead on the sidewalk and no one is doing anything."
PEOPLE LAYING DEAD ON THE STREET IN THE U.S.
Local groups doing things to help are great ! But a week will be too late for many people.
GIVE TO THE RED CROSS NOW ! They are waiting for your call. 800-HELPNOW or
