It’s a big mess down south, no thanks to Katrina. If anybody would like to help with donations, I want to point out that Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit has a good roundup of donation links

BL Ochman, who’s been on the receiving end of charity back on 9/11/2001, has a specific recommendation.

My sister-in-law’s mom lives in Picayune, MS, and they finally heard from her today and she’s doing OK. But many others are not so lucky. If you’re living in relative comfort today, untouched by the disaster, please consider donating to help others get their lives back together.
