Re: Rita: 3 PM CDT

Hi Donna,

You know, animals have an uncanny sense about the weather. I don't know if you have kept up with the dolphins from Gulfport that were missing since Hurricane Katrina. Four were rescued and four were still out there and all of the sudden, they were no dolphins anywhere on Monday. In fact, nothing was moving in the water and no birds were chirping this past Monday. It was said that day that they probably knew another storm was coming. (The four dolphins have since been rescued and that is a happy ending!)

Yesterday, someone started a rumor that FEMA was going to take over the gas stations in Ms and all of the sudden, the gas lines were just like they were three weeks ago. The rumor was never true, but enough people believed it that right now, there is no gas in Jackson or Hattiesburg!

I know you have C & D batteries, ice and cash. Once the power goes out, the money machines won't work.

I will keep you in my prayers.
