One of my co-workers had her sister up here during the storm and they have decided to just stay here permanently. They're not even going to try to go back and see if there is anything left.
The mayor of Detroit is offering to take some of the "refugees". I'm having a hard time with that term because I think of refugees as those leaving a war zone type area, not a disaster stricken area, but at this point, there doesn't seem to be much difference.
Another co-worker, whose son is an internal medicine doc in the Air Force is being sent down there from his base near St. Louis. They are going to set up a mobile hospital unit. He's been told he will be there for a month.
I heard on the news tonight that they are bringing bodies out of the Superdome and some of them were victims of gun fire. The reporter sounded completely numb and in shock, not to mention scared.
