Hurricane Katrina Hits Home for Nikki

As many of you know, the enormous category 5 hurricane, Katrina, hit Gulf Port and Biloxi early this morning. This is where Nikki's parents and one of her brothers live. I emailed her first thing this morning to see if she had heard from her parents yet. They are sheltered at their ward building and this is the first time they've ever evacuated from their house in the 30+ years they've lived there. I will keep you posted!









From Nikki:
They’re OK. I talked to them on my way in to work this morning, and they said they can’t really hear anything from inside the church. That’s a good sign. The church has steel storm shudders, so I’m sure they’ll be OK. I’m really worried about the house, though, and the fact that the power will probably be out for several days. I told them to just come up here and visit me, but they will want to stay home and clean up, I’m sure!
