DU Friends, please pray for my family and me.

[Maddy McCall]

I am about 90 miles north of NOLA, and about 60 miles north of the Lake's north shore. Our family has decided to ride out the hurricane in my mother and father's brick home.

Katrina will remain a Category 4 hurricane well inland, all the way to Jackson, MS, which is about 90 miles north of us. We have a generator and all necessities, and we have an artesian well on our property, so we will have all the water we can use...in other words, we are prepared to lose power and to go without for a month after, if we have to.

What we are not emotionally, mentally prepared for is riding out the hurricane. Will you please send good thoughts, say a few prayers, for my family and me, that we make it through safely?

I know it's selfish just to log on with this request and then log off. I will try to log on again later.
