Crochet Me Crazy

Well, my husband and I have been extremely disturbed by the despair and horrible situation in the Hurricane stricken areas. I have so much compassion for these suffering people. My husband went to Wal-Mart and bought a truck load full of water and left to see if he could try to get some water to people stranded in New Orleans. He left about 2 am and arrived there this morning. He was told all rescues has stopped. Civilians with boats had been assisting in rescues but were no longer allowed in because a helicopter had been shot at. It was mass confusion and chaos. Martial law had been declared and the military was coming in to take over. No one knew where to tell him to take the truck full of water. He drove to the end of the freeway following another citizen bringing a load of water until the freeway led into the water. There were people waiting to load onto the hundreds of waiting buses. He finally ended up loading about 20 buses with water for their long trip to Houston. He was able to give 6 water bottles each to 2 men wandering around asking for water that were very grateful. My husband said the the smell was awful. People were defacating while standing in line because they were too afraid they would lose their place in line to get out on a bus.

Please pray for these people...this is such a horrible tragedy. Please pray and help any way you can.
These pictures really don't show much of the devastation there. My husband just took these pictures quickly. After all, he wasn't really there to take pictures.
