Is there a LIST of survivors that doesn't involve searching through a message board? Just a simple list of names?
I believe at some point the American Red Cross or another agency will compile such a list. The focus up to now has been on rescue, flood control, and evacuations. For example, Search and Rescue just got into Slidell yesterday (an area that was hit hard) to assess the damage there. They will have to go door to door to assess survival - and this is the case in other areas as well. As soon as I find a report, a link, or any other information about a survivors list, I will definitely post it here. In the meantime, know that many people are praying for us as we go through this excruciating painful waiting period.

I guess it sucks to have everything you own destroyed and your friends killed by something you CAN'T control. It is not fair.
But hey, I guess the people in Irak get bombed because they actually wanted it...
You know that at the same time that 100 people died in New Orleans, 800 hundred died in Bagdad because a bridge fell??? I don't see THAT in the news!
