Hurricane Katrina

As I'm sure you're all aware of, Hurricane Katrina has struck the Gulf Coast of the American southeast and unleashed catastrophic and, dare I say, biblical destruction in areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Miscommunication between leaders and the fact that President Bush stayed on vacation have not helped the situation at all.

But instead of turning it to a political debate here, let me just make this plea:

Give what you can to the Red Cross right now. Click here to donate.

It is imperative that these people get help. The Coast Guard and the Navy are already in their way in to help because the LA National Guard is in Iraq right now. Civilian assistance through volunteering and monetary means is desperately needed.

And finally, if you're a person of faith, pray for all of those affected by this horrendous natural disaster.
