Nothing so far that I have heard. She lives some miles south-west of
New Orleans so was out of the path of eye of the storm.

There has been no word from her. I doubt there will be until power and/or
communications are reestablished there. The town she lives in was not in the
direct path, and though damaged did not get as hard as NO and points east.
Last anyone heard, she was staying put.

Last we heard, she and her family were going to hole up and ride it out.

No word yet and it might be some time before she can get word out. However,
the news reported the town in her area as one where they will be setting up
shelter for the New Orleans residents. Even though news shots of the town
are unsettling, I think the fact that it's in good enough shape to be
selected for needed shelter is a good sign. Keep those fingers crossed...

Jim Macklin <p51mustang[threeX12]@xxxhotmail.calm> had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

> Has anybody heard whether Kelly got out OK?

Not yet. I think the communications are going to be down a while longer
though.

Well whoever gets in touch first, send her all the best from this side of

She isn't getting out. She gets alcohol, a deck of cards, a few people and has a party. I believe this is her SOP for cyclones.

She stayed. Haven't heard since she was shuttling everything down before it
hit.

Kelly lives in an area that was free from any major damage.
We haven't heard from her, but as power, phones, cable etc are still down,
this is as expected.

After the previous hurricane it took 4 or 5 days before she got back online
From what I can tell, she should be fine.

Regards
Mark Dormer

I sure hope so...

My company has a branch in New Orleans, or, I guess at this point, should
say had a branch.

The employees are displaced, we have heard from all but one. They have no
idea where to go, or what to do next. It is so heart breaking.
Our company, has assured them, they will not miss a paycheck during this
time, they will be direct deposited for them in whatever bank they want, and
eventually, when it is possible, the branch will be re-opened or rebuilt.

The things most of us take for granted each and every day, right now, is an
outright luxury for these folks...

Simply heartbreaking...

The Australian government will donate $10 million to assist relief operations in the wake of hurricane Katrina in the United States.

Prime Minister John Howard said the money would be given to the American Red Cross and used for emergency relief carried out by the organisation.

"Given the extraordinary generosity of the United States when other countries are in need, and given the very close relationship between Australia and the United States, and given also the scale of the disaster, we believe it is a very valuable gesture and a mark of our concern for the scale of the human misery that has come from this disaster," Mr Howard said this afternoon in Hobart.

He said he had already offered to send a team of emergency specialists to the disaster area but the US was yet to accept the offer.

The money would be used to provide blankets, food parcels and "all the sorts of things that are provided to people all around the world when they're suddenly rendered destitute", Mr Howard said.


Mr Howard said he had not yet spoken to US President George W Bush but confirmed he had sent a personal note of sympathy.

"He knows from the note and from our friendship that we would be concerned but he's got plenty on his plate and frankly I'll probably talk to him at a later time," he said.

Australia joins more than 20 countries - even poor Honduras - in offering help.

Accustomed to being a rich donor rather than on the receiving end of charity, the United States initially seemed reticent about accepting foreign aid, but later said it would take up any offers.

I saw her new post and remembered the "Ping" in the subject line so searched
and found this thread.

All I know is what I posted.
No explanation found on her site as to what did or didn't happen in her
area.
