Here is a blog pertaining to the area I am from.
----------------------------------
I don't know how much longer I will have internet access. Today I am going out to find furnished housing to rent - if not, I have to find family in Chicago and get a place to stay. I just got text mail to friends on the coast and it is bad. Most of my friends and the bands I supported are homeless. I can't even begin to explain the emotions right now. Thankfully my girlfriend just got a call from her mother. They stayed on the coast and say it is a war zone. People are robbing from each other while others walk the streets lost.
From what I was just told over the phone, the news is not even showing the true agony going on. This is a desperate time for my home town, Diberville, MS, near North Biloxi.

I've been reduced to tears a few times just listening to stories on the radio, and I've got a coworkers who lost friends and her godfather to Katrina. It's a very sad time.
Thank you very much for the update. Everybody can donate here via paypal to help survivors with relief efforts.

It's almost impossible for those of us in other parts of the country (and world) to grapple with. Thanks for giving us your perspective, and I hope that you're able to do what you can for yourself and your loved ones to move on from this tragedy.
