RJ CVmellophone Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm not sure how many times my weather alarm went off during the night but all is well west of Atlanta. Lots of high wind and rain but nothing serious. I've got a CV family staying with me from Meterrie, LA and they're still trying to find out how their home faired. Please keep them in your prayers.

CVQuesty Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I've got another CV person (volunteer) staying with me. He lost everything... His storage shed with all his personal furniture and stuff was (I said was) in Mandeville. Since most everything else there was blown away, I can't guarantee anything of that is still there either. I still can't find my aunt and Uncle from Slidell either. We're trying to get text messaging through, and having spotty results... Pray for everyone involved. Many of us have/may have incredible losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tindmac Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I should be excited that DCA is this weekend and I can look forward to a wonderful weekend of Drum Corps. However, looking across the dinner table at my wife last night, I made the decision that unless we hear from her family by tomorrow night, DCA will be a no go. They all lived in the Waveland and Bay St. Louis area on the Miss. Gulf Coast. If anyone has any contact with someone that can maybe help find them, I would appreciate a PM. Either way, going to DCA or not, my thoughts and prayers are with all who are affected by this monster. To all my friends in the Grennies, Statesmen, White Sabers, Cabs, best of luck this weekend.

LisaLisaMoMeesa Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) Any news yet, Tom? I have to admit. Finally last night, I reached my saturation point. I simply could not take any more of the images from the news. It's so devistating and so heart breaking. I'm doing what I can financially, so is my company. I hope everyone reaches deep into their pockets or gives of their time or other donations. The devistation is simply stunning. I'm sorry for those of you out there that can't simply "turn it off". You're all in my prayers. Edited August 31, 2005 by LisaLisaMoMeesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisard5 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I know how you feel Lisa, its just incredible the amount of devastation. I know I've got a few CV buddies that I was definately thinking of. Just remember that a house doesn't make a home. So no matter what is left or not there, the family is safe and you'll rebuild in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle50 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I know we have one member of our American Flag party that lives in the south, Su Jaeger, that was getting to higher ground, I'll find out from AFP folks how she's doing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Su left me a voice mail sometime this morning. She is in Texas somewhere. She sounded very rattled and rather distraught. :( i tried to call her back but the cell signals are skitzy at best. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdiddle Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 To everyone out there in drum corps land, There is never a good time for disaster to strike. I'll be heading to Scranton tomorrow morning. I'm returning Monday evening. If I or anyone in GCS could help with those displaced by the hurricane and need assistance in the Houston area, please PM me and we'll see what we could do to help. Our prayers go out to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Kulinski told me that Nolan Jones of the Jackson Generals called him last night but did not leave a message. Safe to say no news is good news in that case. We just want to know how the rest of the Generals corps members are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
