Minor Katrina update

Aug 31, 2005 00:11

I got caught in a convoy of about 10 Arkansas National Guard jeeps, Medic units, tonight. They were headed for Louisiana to help with the aftermath. (Doesn't sound like much, but it's all my town has) Last night, at the gas station, I encountered some tree-trimmers also heading down.

I know MLGW is sending people. I suspect KCPL will as well. (My sister's father-in-law will probably go)

We had power outages here in Memphis. Rhodes College had to cancel classes. Trees were down all over my commute route, but not nearly as many as that one July.

A lot of the refugees who came up here, are going ahead and registering their kids for school. They eem to understand they wonm't be getting home any time soon.
