Jen: Kelly, I'm feeling for you! We haven't heard anything on the news 
about Long Beach, but looking at a map....well, it doesn't look so 
good there, right next to Gulfport which was reported almost destroyed 
from what one news story said. I'm so sorry! Glad to know you are safe 
and have all the necessities.

Jen, watching too much coverage and wondering if she could deal even 
half as well as Kelly is.
