I haven't checked into OT posts for awhile (but hear from Denise) and WOW, you SoCal lct friends are really going through it! Best news to me this a.m. on CNN and NBC was hearing folks who had evacuated to some stadium how orderly everything was, and how happy the evacuees were with the service being provided by both staff and volunteers. Absolutely nothing like what happened in NO during the Katrina floods.

To all, stay safe and keep in touch. We are all pulling for you and sending positive vibes your way!
