It might be cheaper to just leave it as
a lake and rebuild somewhere else.

Make it the Venice of the South? A vapporetto named Desire?

how bad did Gulfport get hit? I'm scheduled back in there on 20Sept

strike bound NWA.

Gulfport is totally trashed, Rocky.

How about BFM? Area??????

BFM has some more hangar damage, looks mostly ok. The tower is working.
The airspace is closed by TFR.

That won't be a problem as they need to repair Lake Pontchartrain levees
first since they pump into the lake.

Some of this reporting has to be taken in context of the fog of war. The
AP reports the I-10 bridge damage will shut down long haul east-west
traffic totally ignoring that I-12 bypasses New Orleans north of the lake.

Fog of war - what crap!

Dan,

I hope that I can help some.

I've got a whole household of furniture and everything else from my
Mom's (RIP) that I would love to give to someone who needs it.

I wondered about that too.

Is Mother nature something about war?

I suggest you get in touch with Goodwill or the Salvation Army, Mike.
I'm sure they could find plenty of takers.

CNN video: NEW looks bad; partially under water. Heavy damage to most
buildings, particularly the large Millionaire FBO west of 18/36.

Wonder how long it will be before we make the $100 muffaletta trip to
Lakefront again--if indeed we ever do?

Make that $200, since the land-lubbers gas prices went from $2.77 to
$3.31, in 3 days.

Just in from AFW: "I just recently was notified that AFSC and AFSE are
presently flying rescue workers into the impacted areas."

Actually Mike,
If you have anyway that you can physically take it down there and give it
to someone it would be great. As most donations to Goodwill and the
Salvation Army are SOLD to people who need it and often at a price that
someone could have bought used furniture out of the newspaper. That being
said, I applaud your generosity. It's folks like yourself that make the
difference.
Hey maybe for the Katrina disaster you could make one of the charity
groups promise in writing that it would not be sold but given to a needy
family, but then you pretty much have to trust them to do the right thing.
Sometimes it's just hard to make sure your help is actually making it to the
people who need the help the most.

I hope you have the time and get the chance to go help out Michelle. I'll
thank you in advance for alot of folks who would like to, but won't get the
chance to thank you in person. I encourage anyone who can help in any way no
matter how big or small to please do so. We will have to help ourselves and
our neighbors,...can't expect on much help from anywhere else.
