Please say a prayer for my mother , and all those who are suffering.

I cant find my mother. Shes in the mess which was New Orleans Louisiana .. its been pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Katrina ... im praying for her and the rest of the Gulf Coast , New Orleans was my home for 24 years , I now live in La Crosse Wisconsin and Im scared to death ... I wish i knew what to do :'(

Hope the best ... :S

We'll be hoping with you

Oh dear, I am so sorry. I'm sure you're terrified. I've been watching the news this morning, and the damage from this storm is unreal. I sure hope you are able to connect with your Mom soon. I'll be praying for her, and for the rest of the people caught in this horrible mess.

My mother was one of the unfortunate ones who couldnt escape due to financial distress (no money) shes at the Hyatt Regency Hotel .. thats all I know ... but i saw pictures of that building .. all the windows are blown out ... I saw my old neighborhood .. the mall is destroyed ... im almost willing to bet that my appartment in which my mother lived in is completely submerged ....along with my posessions and hers ...but materials do not matter at this point i can replace all of that except for the pictures .... there are no more memorys of me as a child im sure of it.

this is and always has been my worst nightmare...

Thanks

Done. All the best.

hey mate i'm sure your mum is fine i seen most people are in the big sports arena, but your mum is deffo in my thoughts and prayers, take care and chin up:)

thank you all so much

I hope your Mother is safe and well. Best of luck to you and your family!

I've watched news about Katrina several times on TV and newspapers and I've been worried about people there who have been suffering especially all those who are in Louisiana...my thoughts and prayers are with your mom and you.

I hope your mom is okay, what a terrible nightmare. What I don't understand is that people were not evacuated when it was obvious that the situation would be so bad. I saw on CNN that they are now trying to rescue patients from a hospital, that could have happened days ago.

I am also very very worried about a QZ member who lives in Biloxi, Miss, I hope she is safe.

hope she's ok ron...all the best I hope everything is ok.

Everything will be okay, I'm sure!

Hope she's ok. All my best wishes...
:)
