Well, The Perky Ent just posted a couple of hours ago, so I think we can assume that he's alive, safe, and somewhere with internet access. (In other words, out of New Orleans.)

I have relatives from Mississippi but thankfully they got out before it came. But I know there were many unfortunate who didn't, and it's going to take all our help that we can give. It's touching to see many people still care.
I may have to go down there, I should be finding out soon. My company BJ Alan is donating trucks to load up with relief items, I've been helping load up past couple days, don't know what he intends from here.

Yes, welcome back and I'm glad to see that you're OK PE. I hope that you and yours will be back to something approaching normal very soon...
And perhaps when you are up to it, you could tell us what it was like suffering through such an event. I hope that this does not sound trite, but I keep thinking about the Akallabeth and that great wave from the west which overwhelms Numenor.  Who knows? Perhaps the Ent has escaped upon the very wings of the storm to found a new kingdom of his own!!

Katrina's Unfortunate Visit
Katrina didn't get near us as we thought it would, and being inland in Tennessee, we escaped much of her fury. However, for a couple of days, the hurricane center forecast had it plopping right down on top of us, before the track went westward. It turned out to have less of an effect on us than Ivan did last year (i.e. caused several roof leaks).
On a strangely serendipitous note, my husband the self-appointed Witch King, is teaching high school honors English and wanted to open the mind of students to the mysteries of his profession, so he chose, quite by random chance and picking of his mind, Psalm 46, with its cryptic, much debated inclusion of the words "Shake" and "spear" , to some an indication that Shakespeare wrote some passages of the KJV Bible. Quote:
 Cheers, and all my best wishes for everyone affected, Lyta

A family from church had a bunch of family come up from New Orleans. It was good to see they got out on time. And the last person they were looking for just called the other day, so they are all acounted for. Good news. I hope everyone else out there gets their good news too. My prayers to everyone. May God bless you and keep you safe.

No, I just bought the Arkenstone, realized it was a simaril, and turned into Balrog form! . From there, I used the powers of the 'Balrog Wing debate' to propell myself to Elvenhome! They were out of bagles, so I went back, and discovered my own lands. But they're a secret from all those not worthy. Naturally, I can't find it!
