Katrina update

I did get a hold of part of my family that lives in Louisiana. They are all ok. They had a couple of branches down in thier yards and went with out power for 2 days. They said that all the stores are out of everything though. But they said they couldnt complain considering what others are going through. I still have other family that I have not heard from. So keep praying.
