I just hope that everyone will be safe. It’s sad to see this happening again. I just hope that everyone will be able to get to safety in time.

Pray for them !

SiVu!

I say if you dont believe in and pray to god, this is the correct time to do so. I hear the govt is actually prepared this time around, hopefully things will go smoother than it did 3 years.

Im praying that the storm weakens. I cant stand to see another disaster like Katrina. But if my prayers dont get answered , I hope and pray for the lives and safety for the people of New Orleans,LA.

*ago*.

I hope everyone makes it out okay and be safe.

Wow…its been 3 yrs since Katrina and now this. The city still hasn’t really recovered from Katrina. I don’t think anyone expected another hurricane to come this soon. The majority of people have left the area. There are still those people who have made up in their minds that they’re staying. I have a friend who lives in the New Orleans area and I was checking up w/ them to make sure they were gone. People can’t take any more chances after Katrina. Get up and leave. Please, don’t stay there. We can only pray…

I am hoping the devastation is not as bad as 3 years ago. The last I heard it was a category 4 so by the time it hits the coast hopefully it will be downgraded a few notches. Maybe just some heavy rain. I think the main concern would be the winds and flooding.

Just keep these people in your prayers as they brace for this yet again.

My prayers go out to all the families that are evacuating and those that are planning on staying to ride it out.

I will keep them in my prayers. Glad to see Nagin LEARNED from Katrina.

I will pray for the people in New Orleans. I hope everyone will get to safety.

i’m prayin’ for ya’ll. please make it out safely.

Man this is crazy…NO ONE deserves to go through a hurricane…especially the gulf coast.
They are all in my prayers.

I pray 4 them, but can we please stop building cities below sea level? We know this now, can we make a future mental note?

wishig nuthin but the best in this unfortunate situati0n!!!!

Be safe yall

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US.
THIS HURRICANE MAYBE BE BADDER THAN KATRINA.
KEEP US IN YA’LL PRAYERS PLEASE.

Dang!!! I was just in Cheneyville, LA for my family reunion on July 4th. And I also visited New Orleans because thats where my family is from. It seems like everyone was finally picking up the pieces from Katrina….I pray that this is just a false alarm! They haven’t even fully recovered from three years ago. I was trippin looking at the levees and everything, and it feels weird just being there and now this happening again…i pray not!

Wow I really feel from the residents of Louisanna. I know God has the final answer so I’ll keep them in my prayers.

i am from new orleans, but now living in georgia due to katrina. it is sad that this may happen again because not only is new orleans as a city not ready, but mentally, we have not healed from katrina’s pain. i’m glad to see that the evacuation is a little better.i know this is because bush doesn’t want this ish to happen again on his watch while he is still in office. i hope that our new orleanians don’t embarass themselves this time around by doing things uncalled for. the help is there so please leave!! i also think that during hurricane season gas prices should be cut down to a lower price for cities who have to evacuate where all they have to do is show their state i.d. because that is a lot of travel to get out of harm’s way not to mention that a lot of people don’t leave new orleans because they don’t have that kind of money and trying to stretch gas and money to stay at hotels isn’t a joke for people who don’t have family elsewhere. i think it would help for those who are always getting hit like florida, texas, alabama, and all of the other places. new orleans keep your head up and no matter what they say about us still and this time around , one thing is for sure WE ARE NOT REFUGEES!!! keep you all in prayer , i miss my home, but been through too much to turn back now sometimes you have to do that in life you know, but even though i am living in georgia now, i have not sworn myself in to be a georgia peach, i will and forever always be a n.o.l.a. chick. i pray for angels all around new orleans. peace

Awww, what a precious baby, hope everyone is safe!!!

This is what it is suppose to look like when a storm cat 4 is coming. I’m glad that the local government got the training they need to do this process properly. Pray for all the Texas National Guards men on stand by in TX and LA who have been called up to combat the aftermath

Here we go again!!!

@6,yeah i didnt think a hurricane would hit this quickly again either but they’re expecting GUSTAV to be worse than katrina….sad

my sister lives in the southern part of MS and she’s on her way home right now!!

My lil sister goes to UNO, I understand she misses home but N.O. is not where it’s at anymore, and unfortunatly these hurricanes are letting others know, they have to start all over new, some where else. I hope these pple don’t move back…..IT is extremly sad and unfortunate, that this has to happen exactly 3 yrs later and a few days from the anniv. of when katrina came, I will pray and keep those in my thougths….

I glad to see the Government of Louisiana working fast to make sure that they don’t have a repeat of the Katrina. I was in the area for the 4th of July and it looked as if things were coming together for the area but I pray that the area doesn’t see the devastation or go through the trials of 2005. I don’t know if I could withstanding anything such as this. Psychologically this is trying for the people of New Orleans, the gulf region and the world if the hurricane is as bad as they say it is going to be. My prayers are with them all.

My prayers go out to everyone in the path of the storm. Please evacuate. I don’t want my people to go through a Katrina 2.0. They showed a report saying the levees are stronger than before,. Don’t trust that. The same thing was said before. I’m glad to see people leaving;just continue to do so. Many blessings.

Myabe if we didn’t trash the earth Gustav wouldn’t be so powerful…Global warming….Mother Nature strikes back..Or maybe she just wants to ruin the Repulbican Convention….Why does the sign say “no weapons blah blah blah” like they expect black people to be “strapped”….smh….whatever the case…If you are in the area be safe..

i pray i don’t see anymore bodies of my beautiful black people floating in the streets with alligators and snakes

you all are in my prayers

do what you got to do to stay safe!!!

Don’t try to ride it out ……… as Mayor Nagin said, ” GET THE HECK OUT”. Be safe and our prayers are with you.

I hope everyone gets to safety on time. However I do find it ironic that this is happening right before the RNC takes place and serves as a reminder of how much the Bush Administration has FAILED this country within the last 8 years. 8 YEARS IS ENOUGH!!!

NUMBER 23 WHILE I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT REGARDING THE RESIDENTS NOT GOING BACK. I NEED TO MAKE THE POINT OF NEW ORLEANS BEING HOME TO THE RESIDENTS. WHEN THATS WERE YOU’VE LIVED ALL YOUR LIFE IT’S KINDA HARD TO JUST LEAVE.

LORD PLEASE WRAP YOUR ARMS OF PROTECTION AROUND LOUISIANA AND SURROUNDING AREAS. LORD YOU ARE THE BEGINNING AND THE END AND THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THE FINAL SAY…PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE AND SOUND AND WILL NOT LOSE THEIR HOUSING. AMEN.

I’m glad to see people evalcuating ahead of the hurricane. I will be praying for them and their safety, but its sad how some of the levees arent done being built when i was reading on yahoo news it sad areas that had incomplete levees could expect 15-20ft of water.

People I have been on Cnn and MsMBC. If you know someone that is trying to wait the storm out. call them and tell them to leave. I have seen about three reports on the net and have heard that reporters have interviewed over 50 people who have decided to stay. Beaware that many states to include texas have set up shelters for the misplaced. that’s where the buses are going. Please do not risk the lives of our soldiers because you have a fond attachment to a house or city that may very well be distroyed weather you are there or not. Remenber it just as much of a risk for the rescue teams to come get you as it is for you to be stuck on a roof.

I hope people get out this time.

I can only imagine how small islands in the Caribbean handle this especially when there is no where to evacuate too and no money to rebuild. Weather in general seems to be getting more extreme

hope there okay
come to texas just bring our crime rate up again !

My prayers are with the residents of N.O.

I pray nobody gets the foolish idea to ‘ride’ this out. Theres no excuse now..they are evacuating ppl and giving early warnings. If you stay at home you are on your own! you will not recieve any help whatsoever. AND those levees have gaps and shit? ride it out if u want 2…my crib is open to whomever needs shelter. im in Utah tho..but i have more than enuff space and food

All we can do is pray ya’ll. The ones who plan on stayin I pray they don’t take that chance and just leave, they have a chance to this time around. Why?

People in New Orleans turn your hearts toward GOD. People who know how to pray, pray and intercede for the people of the gulf coast.

Gustav will not do much of any damage. It may not even hit. Have faith of mustard seed.

being that i am in houston, i really hope for the best…

You are all in our prayers…..we hope this is all a false alarm and if not we’re here to help however we can.

This is really sad that they have to go through this again. I pray that everyone is safe.

dayum shame all those people had to die in Katrina before the govt finally got things right. what a waste of life. so sad.

oh now they wanna act like they give a damn where the hell was they at when the last hurricane happened

my heart and prayers go out to these people,they do not need this again…..God is really tryna say something…idk what but he aint playing wit us nomore….here in cali we had a pretty big earthquake a couple of weeks ago…..i been living here 4 years and they had a few small ones but this last one actually had everybody on edge….Lord please keep these people,not only in new orleans but all of down south

Thank yall so much for the prayers. I am from New Orleans and evacuated on Saturday to Georgia. I pretty much lost everything from Katrina, and now I fear that it may happen again. I am scared, but I have faith in God. Please pray for us cause your prayers mean alot to me and my fellow residents of Louisiana. Thanks.

My prayers are with New Orleans and the entire Gulf region.

What Levees? All I can say is GOOD Luck and get out of there. I would not trust it. At least they did provide some resources to help folks get out this time. I do not want to se Katrina part II.

Sometimes we have to have disaster to happen to learn, when you live down in the southern region of the US this is common, i am here in Miami and Gustav looks scary and now we here in Miami i looking at Hanna to see what she is going to do, we should know by next week, but this is how the summers are here in the South, this is the reason why they decided not to have the VMA’s here anymore, too many storms in the summer. We all have to Pray for each other, God Bless Nola

……… and some of these people on the news still talking bout they are gonna ride it out….lawd have mercy!!!

Three years to the day and the citizens of New Orleans are facing another possible natural disaster. I pray that the Lord just looks over them and hopefully they will not suffer any major damage!! However, I do not have any hope in FEMA getting right this time either!

exactly@51 im in houston, every summer there is some sort of hurricane or tropical storm thats normal, but hopefully everything will turn out okay and u are right, u wont always know how to prepare for something until you have been in the situation first so at least they are puttin forth more effort this time, i hope hannah dies out and nobody in florida is harmed in the next weeks either

I just wanted to share the AWAKE (Published by Jehovahs Witness) of august 2008 pg 16-18. entitled A love more powerful than a hurricane.

Many of JW are helping people in relief centers ie Baton Rouge.

I PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF N.O.L..A PLEASE IF YOU CAN - GET OUT. ALSO THIS IS A TIME OF BLACK PPL TO COME TOGETHER AND HELP ONE ANOTHER. I WOULD GLADLY OPEN MY HOUSE TO ANYONE BUT THE FACT THAT I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD I CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY SOMEONE IN A BETTER POSSITION WILL DO THE SAME.

ALL MY LOVE AND PRAYS.

ps Just a reminder : God is NOT the one causing these things to happen, He is only allowing them but only for a little while longer: REV 21:3/4
