Well, it's been pointed out on another thread that The Perky Ent is from New Orleans. I really hope he's alright.

I know some of our chat wights are southerners *Fea habitually curses she who calls me "Yankee"* and is not our own Mithadan a Floridian? My thoughts and the prayers of myself and my friends go out to all affected.

Well, The Perky Ent just posted a couple of hours ago, so I think we can assume that he's alive, safe, and somewhere with internet access. (In other words, out of New Orleans.)

I have relatives from Mississippi but thankfully they got out before it came. But I know there were many unfortunate who didn't, and it's going to take all our help that we can give. It's touching to see many people still care.

I may have to go down there, I should be finding out soon. My company BJ Alan is donating trucks to load up with relief items, I've been helping load up past couple days, don't know what he intends from here.

Yay! something I have a reason to post on! I'm from New Orleans and i'm find

I just saw a satelite picture of my house two days ago, and apart from my room (of course

) it appears fine. My grand parents were missing for several days, but we just got a call today saying they're still at my house. my uncle is trying ot get them out, but the coast guard won't let them

But i'm fine.

Glad to see your okay Perky. My prayers to your grandparents.

Yes, welcome back and I'm glad to see that you're OK PE. I hope that you and yours will be back to something approaching normal very soon...

And perhaps when you are up to it, you could tell us what it was like suffering through such an event. I hope that this does not sound trite, but I keep thinking about the Akallabeth and that great wave from the west which overwhelms Numenor.

Who knows? Perhaps the Ent has escaped upon the very wings of the storm to found a new kingdom of his own!!
