I'm safe

[cheesygirl]

Finally got my cable modem back. Just popping in to say that I'm okay and my family is okay. My hometown, not so much. My childhood home and the whole neighborhood is gone. A good hunk of Pascagoula, especially the beach areas where I grew up, is GONE. Obliterated. No longer exists. Fucking gone.

I'm going to check online and on TV now to see what else is going on down there since I've only had radio and a few cell phone calls for information.

Y'all, please keep the people of Mississippi in your hearts and prayers, and if you can donate anything, supplies, money, whatever, to the Red Cross and other emergency relief organizations please do. The coast really really needs all the help it can get. Many many hugs and much love to you all.

There you are! I was just starting to think we wouldn't hear from you for a while.

I was worrying....glad you are safe.

[glimmergirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, no...

*holds you and pets gently*

I'm so glad you're all right, honey. ♥

I am so happy to see your post. And so very happy that you and your family are safe. I am also heartbroken about what this hurricane has done to the Gulf Coast. I don't have the words. *hugs you*

God. So very, very sorry ::hugs you:: I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now.

As relieved as I am to know that you and your family are safe, I know that you must be going through another kind of grief over losing so many memories. I'm so sorry! *big hugs*

The more I read on CNN's website, the more worried I became about you and your family. Good to hear from you. The devastation is just horrible. Please take care. My thoughts are with you and your family.

**hugs**

Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear that -- it's unimaginable. ::hugs you hard::

I just posted an offer to write fic for disaster relief again, and will probably send a check of my own as well.

I'm so sorry that happened to your hometown hon. I'll keep you in my thoughts and send some money off to help. *hugs*

Thanks so much for checking in with us, sweetie. I'm glad to hear that you're safe.

*HUGS* to you... I wish I had any sort of extra money to donate... I might try and find something... I'm so glad you're okay.

*hugs* Eek about your hometown! Thanks for the update. My thoughts especially with any friends or relatives you might have still had in the area. Hopefully all goes as well as it can.

Yikes! Well, it's good to know that you and your family are safe, at least.
Still...it's got to be really scary just having everything gone.
*hugs*

*envelops you in a huge hug* I'm so glad you and your family are okay. I've been thinking of you.

I'm so glad you and your family are safe. Do you have to go back to work today or do you have a few days for the conditions to improve.

Glad to hear that you and those close to you are ok. This whole Katrina business is just the saddest thing because you know it's going to get a lot worse before it starts to get better. Too many dead people, too much destruction, too much heat and no chance of rebuilding for months if not years.
Hugs to all of you in the South.

So glad to hear from you and that you're safe.

*Big big hugs*

I'm glad you and your family are safe. I'm sorry your childhood home is gone. The people of the gulf are definitely in my thoughts. Mississippi is just unbelievable. NOLA is breaking my heart. This is such a tragedy.

totally OT (and you don't know me but i just saw you comment in Lum's LJ): did you graduate from Pascagoula High by any chance? My husband is class of 87.

sorry...just trying to take my mind off everything...glad you've modem's back; we're still out on cable tv as well (i'm in mobile) but just having electricity back's enough to make me very, very happy!!!

[cheesygirl.livejournal.com]

I graduated from PHS in 1987 too! I hung out with the sort of odd, geeky, punky, new wave crowd then. I'm still odd and geeky, actually!

EAB,
