Everyone OK down there? My oldest brother and his family live in Hattiesburg, MS, which is in the eye of the storm as I type.

I am in sunny Kansas, but I am praying for everybody in the storms path. I hope your brother and his family are well.

My sister and her family departed on a cruise from New Orleans, just a couple of days before the hurricane made land fall. I pray that they are doing well.

Last I heard my significant other and Katy (her search and rescue K-9), were on their way to Baton Rouge, LA from Shrevenport, LA. They were deployed by FEMA on Saturday as part of Missouri Task Force I Urban Search and Rescue Team in anticipation of today's hurricane landing. I pray that they are able to assist and that everyone makes it home safe.
