Hello!
Just wanted to post a message on the forum that myself and my family got out okay, but we have lost everything. It's times like these that make you realize what is really important.
We evacuated to Vicksburg, MS, and now I am outside of Baton Rouge at my mom's house. ( I went to a friend's house to use her computer because my mom does not have one).
It has been frustrating to watch this all unfold in the media and it feels like I am in a dream that I can't wake up from. My husband and I are lucky that our companies are being very kind and trying to help us. It looks like we will be relocating to Dallas. I was hoping to go back home and salvage some things on the 2nd floor of my home at some point, but judging from some of the pictures I have seen on the internet and TV, it won't be possible. We were east of the city where there has not been as much media coverage in St. Bernard Parish. From what we understand, most houses in my subdivision had 12 feet of water. Unfortunately, it is possible that some in our neighborhood were too stubborn to leave. That is why I am so thankful for our lives, if nothing else.
I will not be able to check into the forums much at all for a while, unfortunately, but I know that when we get back on our feet, working out will be very good therapy for me. Hope to visit you guys on the forum again soon.
Take care, Sandra S.
