OT: Hurricane Katrina

Hopes and prayers for our friends in New Orleans. I have always loved that city and hope to God it will not be destroyed...but most important, that the folks will get out of there. It seems every hurricane season good fortune has smiled on New Orleans, please let it prevail.

P.S.Andrew glad all went pretty well there, we were watching via our flight operations here. Most of the problem for us was many operational ones as we could not get crews to the airport, some damage at the airport etc. but the flooding was the main problem. Handled quite a few people from cancelled Miami flights for those reasons, rerouted into various other Florida cities. Gotta say that people in Florida are incredibly resilient, all handle things very matter of factly and calmly. All the best!
