Having recently walked across Louisiana and all of the Gulf Coast areas ravaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, my heart tonight is with the people of the Gulf Coast. I have many friends there now. Some have evacuated; many others remain. Those who’ve stayed are holding strong– I’m confident they’ll weather this storm well. It’s the biggest storm since 2005, but is expected to be nowhere near the threat level of Katrina. I’m hoping for minimal damage and NO loss of life!!
