Well, evacuations are still underway ahead of what could be a storm worse than Katrina. Our guys have pulled back to Alexandria, Louisiana and several of our team are now making preparations to head south for disaster recovery work.

One sound bit from Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard stood out this morning:

"You cannot protect yourself against what Mother Nature is going to throw at us,"

And he is right.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we are hearing from our friends, families and partners throughout Louisiana as they leave their homes. Many of them reside in the southern portions of the state.

At least 1.1 million people have left the State already, over 200,000 of them from New Orleans.

Over the course of the next few days, talk will turn from stormtracking to disaster recovery and we encourage you to get in touch with an ORGANIZED entity that has a PLAN for disaster recovery. If you do not know of such an organization, please feel free to email us at info@chasing4life.org and we will direct you to the disaster recovery network from Louisiana so that you can be as much help as possible.
