From an email:

In Afghanistan, thousands of families are fleeing their homes, finding refuge at various locations around the world. For people arriving in both Washington, DC and Spain, WCK is supporting the best way we know how—with fresh, comforting meals.

And before Haiti and New Orleans, he was feeding search and rescue responders at Surfside.




The epitome of humanity and compassion.

which will put NOLA in the strongest quadrant of the storm. Ida is still a Cat 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 135, gusts to 175.

My biggest fear right now is the power and the hospitals that could not be evacuated. There was no place for them to go because hospitals everywhere are to capacity with the un-vaccinated.

I feel relief that Joe is in charge, he has done all he can to prepare.

However...
I just heard the hospitals have been supplied with extra generators! No paper towels needed at this time. Thank the goddess that Charles in Charge (Jared) is no longer in charge of the medical equipment. He would be stock piling them and selling them off to the highest bidder. It is what he did with all the missing PPE.
