This was written to me, from a Live Journal friend today...
I'm alive but I have no home.
This is a picture of my area of town. If you look in the upper right you'll see a orange roof.
That's what used to be home depot. I lived across the canal and two blocks down from there. A one story house. I called billy tauzin's office (our state rep) this morning and asked them why they weren't saying anything on the news about st bernard. They told me that there wasn't anything to see. the taller two story buildings you can see their roof but the one stories are completely under water.
I have friends that I think stayed. When I left I left practically everything. My computer my grandma's rings, my mom's art, her jewelry, most of my jewelry that has sentamental value... my dreamcatchers... everything gone.
Right now I'm in clanton alabama. I'm amazing at home giving and caring these people are. Last night when the stome rushed through here the power surged and destroyed my mom's oxygen machine. This morning they rushed over and brought her a rental (mind you her insurance isn't taken here and they are doing this for free) and took her's to fix it. They they brought us loads of food and treats for the cats. I'm probably going to stay here for another week and then we are going to decide where we want our new home to be. Richard wants to move to ohio. I'm scared of the winters.
My cell doesn't work because all the cell sites in new orleans are gone or down and calls have to be routed through there. Verizon doesn't know when it'll be back up but it said that the only way to get a work number is to buy a new phone and get a new account.
Walgreens is going to pay me a 30 hour check as long as my store is closed (whihc considering it has atleast 5 feet of water in it... may be a very long time) Uncle b's work is gone and his main office was in gulfport and that was very badly hit (it's next to biloxi) so we are gonna try to regroup pick a city with a cancer center and move there.
I loved new orleans. Goodbye my city.
