It really is incomprehensible! My former college roommate's sister lives in Bay St. Louis, MS, just east of ground zero; she did evacuate, but what to go back to? NO - evacuate to where? I can't even imagine the logistical nightmare, but what's the alternative? I went to college in Mobile, another disaster!

Pam, we also had a honeymoon in NO, but haven't been back in many years after a not so "prime time" experience one summer, a long time ago now.

Joanna, I agree about the man, who lost his wife.....

To whom to donate for maximum good???
