The evatuation has already taken it's toll....Sadly a bus full of elderly folk from a nursing home exploded taking the lives of 24 people that were trying to escape the hurricanes wrath
However some of the elderly were able to get off, but not many
Yesterday I heard that the Hurricane was going to hit Texas, but now it is reported to be going back through New Orleans
So still it's not a sure path in which the storm will go, but I'll keep you all posted....

Wow...
I read through it, but I don't think I could truly understand what it's like to be in a situation like that. It's good that things ended up working out better for you than it did for many. Good luck with the whole job issue.

Heh, funny you mention that. My mother spent this weekend renewing her ACLS certification.

My ploy of pitting Murphy's Law against itself actually worked; I've been having to resolve scheduling conflicts as the hospital is indeed reopening. I'll have all in all missed about a week's worth of work in various places, but that's it. I'm definitely getting off lucky.
