must be even harder for her since she has to see everything and go through it. hopefully a lot of the hard stuff [glass, ceramics, etc] can be preserved. its going to take a while though, need to make sure that they have the stuff they need to live for a good few weeks

She found both of my grandparents engagement rings but is missing one band and her engagement and wedding ring, they were sitting on top of her dresser when she evacuated. With six feet of water everything is a mess, the washer and dryer...

Im glad you are working at rebuilding, even though it's hard.
Im sorry for the loss. You might want to put a list up for like donations. I have a bunch of stuff around the house I don't use, and would be willing to ship some stuff down to your parents if it would help.

I feel so bad for my mom and dad... We have always been poor they never had anything nice, they worked as hard as they could just to make sure we had what we needed. The house i grew up in was crap, it was falling apart, no central air and heat, holes in the ceiling, cracks in the walls... then they finally were able...

Oh, sweetie - shit shit SHIT. I'm SO sorry about your hometown
I'm glad to hear your family is ok - and hopefully your kitty made it out all right as well. New Orleans has always been one of my favorite places, and I'm incredibly sad at what has happened there.
*Hugs* to you, darlin.

Most of my family has evacuated from new orleans and mississippi. My sister and her baby stayed in covington with her husband, but they are at his work which is suppose to be like hurricane proof.
