Armacel, I agree, after katrina and now after Gustav they focus on NO and we dont really get the total picture of all the other towns and Parishes that get more damage. It's typical I guess of the Media, overlook the small guy and ignore the truths.

I hope for all those involved that things work out and that the States hit are back up and running soon and I pray Ike does not come that way too.

May God Bless all those affected by Gustav

Oh, no! This is awful!

That is what is upsetting me too. It seems most reports are about New Orleans, but never really show what happened to the area that the storm actually hit. Amarcel, you are in my prayers and I hope things get better soon!
