27 Aug 05 - 09:58 PM (#1551237) Subject: RE: BS: Bobert to take on Katrina... From: Bee-dubya-ell Boberdz... You are aware that during major hurricane evacuations like this one Interstate 55 through Mississippi is closed to southbound traffic and all four lanes are made northbound? You may have to take US 51 south from Memphis. If you do, expect traffic to be bad as it will be carrying all the southbound traffic 55 usually carries. And if the weather gets bad enough that you have to pull off the highway, don't park under trees. Katrina's already killed people by dropping trees onto their parked cars. |

For about $5 at truckstops you can get a self-heating meal that doesn't need refrigeration. You might want to tuck one aboard. Beef jerky is also good. I'd take several liter-sized bottles of water. If you don't need it, great -- it ain't all that expensive. Take a blanket and pillow and couple of them great big green garbage bags, too. One of them lightsticks can be useful as well.

28 Aug 05 - 10:36 AM (#1551530) Subject: RE: BS: Bobert to take on Katrina... From: PoppaGator I'll be evacuating out of New Orleans in a few hours, heading north into Mississippi, but not nearly as far north as where Bobert's gonna be. We'll still be safe enough. The Delta/Memphis area is FAR inland. They'll get a hell of a rainstorm, but Katrina won't be a hurricane any more by the time it gets that far north. There will be evacuees driving that far north, perhaps adding a little more trarric than normal, but that should be it. Also, I-55 is northbound in both directions only in Louisiana and a few miles into Mississippi (as far as Belhaven or so, I believe), and only until about 4pm today (Sunday). Now, the storm will affect almost as much of Mississippi as Louisiana, but that's the GULF COAST, hundreds of miles south of Thaxton. In fact, the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be on the "wrong" side of the eye and probably sustain as much wind damage as anywhere in Louisiana and almost as much flooding. |

28 Aug 05 - 11:08 PM (#1551942) Subject: RE: BS: Bobert to take on Katrina... From: GUEST Well, you might have noticed from the reports out of New Orleans, they tilt towards Rome. And I believe there is quite a difference between Protestant and Catholic attitudes towards meeting community needs. My very Catholic sister isn't evacuating--staying behind in the path of the eye in downtown New Orleans, to stay with a colleague who just had heart surgery, and two elderly nuns too frail to be moved. In fact, Tulane/Xavier Universities are staying put (much to my dismay). Not only are there many students already there with no place to go (they can't get into the Superdome), and they plan on helping with rescue and clean up as soon as the storm ends. The Campus Police this afternoon estimated around 175 students and staff at Xavier, and around 225 at Tulane, who will ride it out on campus. |

Perhaps it IS a good idea to send help through the Red Cross or other organizations. Blood donations may be needed, also. We might also check with our own home religious facilities, since most likely, various churches/temples/synagogues will be in touch with their denominations/friends through the storm areas & will help them meet the needs of the folks hit by the storm. Just imagine if all 'Catters put forth the hand of friendship to those in the storm's path--everyone who needs assistance would probably get it! |

Tomorrow is the Howlin' Wolf Festival in West Pont, Mississisppi tnen saturday they got another festival o' sorts in West Point with over 400 venders which I'm lookin[' forward to... Then, maybe, just maybe, a little of Otha's Turner's annual "goat roast"... Nah, ain't eatin' no goat... Maybe play a little music... Maybe drenk a few cold beers'... Maybe tell a few lies... Bit ain't no lie that I ain't eatin' no goat.... BTW, when you all see Mississippi Tom comin' 'round, he's the real deal and wants to do some some interestin' stuff with folk muscians so you all keep an open mind if he comes 'round offerin' somethin' that sounds too good to be true.... It's the real deal... Bobert |

I must apologize for earlier having pooh-poohed any concerns about Katrina's effect on Thaxton and environs. Amazingly, the storm really DID have a serious impact well into north Mississippi, but bad as it was (and still is, I suppose), it's a mere inconvenience compared to the life-and-death stuff going on down home in NO. Hope y'all catliks and prosstints work out yer differences. It was starting to sound a bit like the north of Ireland for a while there... |
