Subj : All family in NO is safe To : alt.tv.farscape From : Chaya Date : Sat Sep 03 2005 08:11:16 From Newsgroup: alt.tv.farscape Thanks for all your concern. We found out all family members in NO are safe. One family friend is still unaccounted for, and we're hoping he's OK. My husband's 70-something aunt weathered the storm in New Orleans in her fourth floor apartment, and was evacuated yesterday to another city in La. I hear she'll be taken to another state today (Arkansas, maybe). We have been wondering why her adult son didn't come and take her out, but we'll deal with him later. He better have a DAMN good excuse, even if she is fairly obstinate. My mother-in-law is quite concerned about the state of the family synagogue and her parents' final resting place. Her family has been in NO for several generations, and many in our family are mourning the loss of the city. In other news my little Michigan town will be getting 180-200 refugees this weekend. Word is they are being transported in school buses from Louisiana/Mississippi. .
