Congrats Warchicken!!!

Warchicken, my friend from the New Orleand area, has finally gotten power and internet back at college and has assured me that he and his family are all safe. You can view some examples of damage to his home town here: http://www.baitntackle.net/photos/thumbnails.php?album=5

He says that his college recieved up to 110mph winds during Katrina, and has seen a house with a tree sticking out of it, as well as the usual downed power lines. As for why he has power and internet this soon, his college is being used as a shelter and operations point for rescue efforts in New Orleans.

Ever since Katrina struck, he has had no access to news of any sort, and only heard word-of-mouth accounts of what had happened. Many of these have been far worse than reality, but others have been extremely candy-coated.

Once again congrats to Warchicken, all of ZoS is thrilled that you're ok and will be returning to gaming quickly :)
