… and everyone else affected by the devastating Hurricane Katrina. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Here are some Hurricane Katrina-related blogs that I’ve found, for anyone who may be interested.

The bloggers from the network I run also did a few great entries on this, so we now have a Hurricane Katrina Coverage.

If you’re from New Orleans – or if you simply wish to share something about this event, please leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you.

    We’ve been getting a steady stream of refugees from New Orleans here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX area. Also a lot went to Houston and many are enroute to San Antonio to the south. I’m just so proud of how we Texans have responded to this emergency. Everyone has done their best to make these people feel welcome, including finding jobs for them so people can start to get back on their own two feet.

    Our schools are preparing to take in the children so their education isn’t interrupted, and several colleges have opened their doors to Louisiana college students, giving them free tuition if they were paid up at their now destroyed colleges.

    I saw stacks of clothing, shoes and other items ready for the refugees as they got off their buses, many with nothing but the clothes off their backs, which they’d been wearing since Monday.
