michelle called yesterday to say that she the family she is staying with are all safe. she described the devastation to me, but all i could think was that she needs to just come back home. michelle moved to hattiesburg mississippi 2 weeks ago to start grad school at southern mississippi. she doesn't know whether her apartment survived...she moved all of her stuff from home to her new apartment. she drove to jackson mississippi on sunday morning and left me a message during church. at that time we just laughed about the randomness of the event, but as days passed, i now understand how serious the situation is. she only has one change of clothes and there is no power in the city. she had to drive to louisiana yesterday to put gas in her car.
i haven't heard from liz...she lives right off of the quarter in new orleans. i don't know if she made it to the superdome or not. she has been living in her grandparents' house since june. her grandparents have been in europe for the summer...they were scheduled to be home in october. i know they have lost their home.
my heart breaks for these families...its hard to look at the pictures. i wish michelle would just come home.
