Caution urged



Thought you might be interested in the article in the Dec. 3 edition of The Advocate, a local newspaper. It says that FEMA workers are urged to be careful not to wear anything that has FEMA logo and lettering. No workers have been harmed but threats of violence have been made. Someone pulled a knife in Baton Rouge and made threats. We are all safe here, guarded by 24 hour security, and we go out we go in street clothes, so not to worry. As you have seen in the news, bodies are still being found in the 9th Ward, which has recently opened. It was the area right below the levee and is destroyed. Here are pictures of the 9th Ward. You can see how the bodies might have been missed up to this time. Very difficult area to thoroughly cover. There is apparently a rumor that the levee was blown up deliberately so that just adds to peoples' anger. The weather here is in the 50s, so not too cold compared to other parts of the country. Please check the link on this page, MY IT Guy. He has a very interesting picture of one of the strike teams who go out to look for bodies and disinterred crypts. When they find them they identify them and then return them to families and/or the area where they were washed out. Notice the guards they go with to protect them from creepy crawly biting things. Take care, Sandy
