Katrina

I pray for all the victims of Katrina. I hope this crisis brings out the best in the residents of the gulf coast and not the worst.


UPDATE: People are dying in and around the Super Dome. The majority of the more than 25,000 refugees that are held up there are indigent African Americans who are dehydrated and starving. These are the individuals that had no or limited means to initially evacuate the city. How did the conditions deteriorate so quickly. These are the individuals I care for every day at my hospital and I'm very confused why the federal government has been so slow in it's response. We are now more than 3 days after Katrina made land fall. I understand this crisis is of a tremendous scale (ie. evacuating an entire city!) and I continue to pray for victims, and their rescuers. I can't imagine what's occuring at Charity hospital at this moment.
