i can't get over what is happening in New Orleans, Alabama and Mississippi. In New Orleans there are volunteers in boats that can't go out and rescue people because there are people shooting at them. It's like all Hell has broken loose and there are so many people left with nothing--there are just getting babies formula and diapers after 3 days. Some still don;t have fresh water or food. Some people knocked down old people to take their water - can you imagine? This world is so messed up and it feels wrong to want to bring children into this mess. Gas went up to $3.00 a gallon here and they said it will keep going up. Grain and food shipped in and out if New Orleans can't get through and will cause food prices to go up, the stock market is suffering and this is going to be a long struggle. To these people stranded i'm sure it feels like the end of the world - everywhere they look is a disaster area - nothing left--everything a mess. Now Cholera, Dyptheria and Typhoid are feared because of the stagnant water. God, bless these people!

Looking at the pictures on the news of refugees pushing or dragging their belongings down the highway looks like a scene from the news when talking about Africa or Haitii and war refugees. It's hard to imagine that this is in the US.
