Everyone down in New Orleans is thinking of the people up in Iowa constantly this week. No, it's nothing like what happened here but still, it's a tremendous disaster for the people affected.
Sad to see them go, but its understandable. I think about my cousins from Waveland, who lived south of the tracks and lost it all a second time in living memory. We won't be OK for a long time, either on the coast or in New Orleans, and I hope that the new blog the one author writes will keep the entire coast in the public eye for a long time.
