Katrina
I have been riveted to the coverage of Katrina. The desctuction and loss is staggering, and sadly it seems that the poor are the hardest hit. The situation continues to get worse instead of better. The refugees from the SuperDome are slowly making their way to the AstroDome. Additionally, there are already many of refugees in Houston who are being turned away at the AstroDome. It is heartbreaking. I know if I were still in Houston, I would be doing what I could to take in someone that needed a place to stay. I have compiled a list of links to sites you can visit to volunteer to house people fleeing the destruction in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Even though I am in New York now, I am thinking of signing myself up. It is obvious that this crisis is national and not just regional.
