First off, any Curezoners in New Orleans shouldn't even be reading the internet! Those in the path of Hurricane Katrina should be considering how to prepare for this hurricane of biblical proportions. Here's where being raw fooders comes in handy.
Some suggestions:
ample supply of distilled/spring water...Walmart sells these very cheap.
lots of garlic, parsley,goldenseal,etc.
hardy fruits like apples and watermelons
I am watching Weather Channel coverage and am going to pray for all those involved. This is not looking good at all!!! If I find any interesting links/info I will post it here.

| I couldn't find a good link for reading but allow me to say a word about animals and disasters. I am thoroughly convinced that animals are very clairvoyant creatures attunedd to the Earth's goings on. I was watching a documentary about a tribe of peopel that live in boats who watched the animals heading for higher ground before the Tsunami 2004. How many of us lead totally chaotic lives that we don't observe the ocean and animals? I went for a walk on the beach a night ago and the ocean was loaded with green algae, the surf more chaotic than usual. If I didn't watch Fox News, I would know something is wrong. I am not always so attuned to the Earth but times like these Mother Nature likes to remind us who is really boss.

Did animals sense Tsunami was coming?
The horror of the Asian Tsunami affected everyone, and we extend our sympathies and thoughts to any reader personally affected by this tragedy.
There have been many reports about wild and domestic animals sensing the impending tragedy and trying to escape before the giant waves hit the region.
According to eyewitness accounts:
• Elephants screamed and ran for higher ground.
• Dogs refused to go outdoors.
• Flamingos abandoned their low-lying breeding areas.
• Zoo animals rushed into their shelters and could not be enticed to come back out.
We have reported before the belief that animals possess a sixth sense – specifically Rupert Sheldrake spoke about this issue at our 2003 Animal Sentience conference.
Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the Earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.
Whether it is a sixth sense or other senses we felt it was worth reporting some of the experiences witnessed in South East Asia. Relatively few animals have been reported dead, however, reviving speculation that animals somehow sense impending disaster.
Ravi Corea, president of the Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society, which is based in Nutley, New Jersey, was in Sri Lanka when the massive waves struck. Afterwards, he travelled to the Patanangala beach inside Yala National Park, where some 60 visitors were washed away. The beach was one of the worst hit areas of the 500-square-mile (1,300-square-kilometer) wildlife reserve, which is home to a variety of animals, including elephants, leopards, and 130 species of birds. About an hour before the tsunami hit, people at Yala National Park observed three elephants running away from the Patanangala beach. Corea did not see any animal carcasses nor did the park personnel know of any, other than two water buffalos that had died, he said.
In the southern Sri Lankan town of Dickwella, reports have been received of bats frantically flying away just before the tsunami struck.
It was also reported that Flamingos that breed this time of year at the Point Calimere wildlife sanctuary in India flew to higher ground beforehand.
Alan Rabinowitz, director for science and exploration at the Bronx Zoo-based Wildlife Conservation Society in New York, says animals can sense impending danger by detecting subtle or abrupt shifts in the environment.
"Earthquakes bring vibrational changes on land and in water while storms cause electromagnetic changes in the atmosphere," he said. "Some animals have acute sense of hearing and smell that allow them to determine something coming towards them long before humans might know that something is there."
At one time humans also had this sixth sense, Rabinowitz said, but lost the ability when it was no longer needed or used.
Some U.S. seismologists, on the other hand, are sceptical. There have been documented cases of strange animal behaviour prior to earthquakes. But the United States Geological Survey, a government agency that provides scientific information about the Earth, says a reproducible connection between a specific behaviour and the occurrence of a quake has never been made.
"What we're faced with is a lot of anecdotes," said Andy Michael, a geophysicist at USGS. "Animals react to so many things—being hungry, defending their territories, mating, predators—so it's hard to have a controlled study to get that advanced warning signal."

| The weather is lackluster and gloomy here. The cicadas are going at full blast and it's humid but not hot. I'm thinking of going down to the beach to check out the surf's up situation.
