As this is a truly international forum, I would just like to say to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and western Florida that our thoughts are with you, and particulaly to anyone who posts on this site from those States, here's hoping you are safe and well.

I must admit that although I do not normally allow this forum to be used in this way I was thinking of starting this thread myself after watching the news tonight.

Our thoughts are with you guys.

Thank you,
This thread needs to be here. Thank you for allowing it.
We are all brothers and sisters and need to help each other.
We were fortunate here where I am and just caught the edge of that beast of a storm.
Other areas as you can see are in dire need.
People on my street are taking in kids from people we all know who lost everything in Louisiana. These kids will be coming in this weekend.
Our neighbor already has them enrolled in our local school.
If you can please give. No donation of any sort is too small.

We are very fortunate to have our cars in common. Let us also have something else- One bottle of water for someone who needs it.
You are a Class group !

Thank you :thumbsup:

I agree, my company is matching 100% of collections. God bless all those less fortunate right now.

Disasters on this scale happen now and again all over the world and it is difficult to mention one and not another. But they don't normally directly effect the people using this message board so i should have responded sooner and put something up here myself.
My apologies for that.
