Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

CNN finally showed an aerial view of the area of New Orleans where my sister lives---and it was all under water. I called to see if she was watching this news report, and she was. Understandably, she was very upset.

Her employer is sending her a computer so she can work from my parents' home, since she may not get to return to her house for months.

My parents, who are in north La., said thousands of evacuees are staying in their town----in the university's basketball arena and in churches. Everyone's wondering what will happen to them now that they can't go home for months.

They said families are registering their children for public schools there! I didn't think they could do that without establishing residency, but I guess living in a town's basketball arena for 4 months might qualify as "residency."

My good friend here (whose husband is CEO of a big grocery store chain) just told me that the chain is now unable to get chickens, since most of the animals they buy come from the Mississippi coast and were killed during the hurricane!

We are all going to be feeling the brunt of storm.
