I am comforted by the fact that folks in that region define the word hardy, Katrina would have had to give it her best, which thankfully she didn't, to break their spirit. As I write this Katrina is now a category 2, 105 MPH winds, still nothing to sneeze at. Katrina is now on her way into my area, Northern KY., we are expecting several inches of rain and possibly some flooding. A minor inconvenience by comparison. Good luck! My wife and I will be sending you relief supplies on the first truck heading south.
