Words cannot possibly describe the sense of horror and disbelief I feel at what has happened to the people and city of New Orleans this past week. It is similar to how I felt 4 years ago when I woke up and heard that the World Trade Center had collapsed. Every hour I've not spent at school or work or asleep, has been spent staring at CNN, watching the same reports over and over again. I can only imagine how much worse it is for those that were there, especially those that still are. This may sound selfish, but a part of me feels blessed for having been able to see the city in its prime, and wish I would've been able to visit it more recently; I know that it will never be the same again. I feel compelled to help, but sadly know that all I can really do is offer sympathy and a pathetically small donation to the relief fund.

To darkestsunrise, whereshadowslie, ravencreature, and boygoth. I am glad to hear that all of you made it out safely, and am deeply sorry for everything that you have lost as a result of this tragedy. I am not a religious man, but I will pray that better fortune will find you soon.
