The first refugees of Hurricane Katrina to come to Utah are welcomed with open arms after landing at the Utah Air National Guard Base in Salt Lake City on Sept. 3, 2005. Approximately 1,500 victims of the hurricane will be flown to Salt Lake and housed at nearby Camp Williams in Riverton, Utah. (Click on photo for Video/slde)USAF photo by Master Sgt. Burke Baker

Ongoing life-saving and sustaining efforts along with the directing of resources to those with the most urgent needs continues… and will continue for sometime to come. The numbers of people still stuck in houses and buildings all over New Orleans is just beyond belief. The biggest problem the rescue workers seem to come across now is getting many of the ones still in the City to leave. These poor people just can’t grasp the danger they are in and that it is going to be many months before the town is dry and safe for living in again… Heck--- If not for YEARS!!! This is a disaster of catastrophic magnitude like none we have ever seen before. Be getting yourself mentally ready for the Death Toll Numbers that will soon start coming in- in full force- next week …

** Over 59 confirmed dead in New Orleans so far- That number will jump up fast into the 1000’s I’m afraid… The last count I’ve seen out of Mississippi was- 185 Dead… (God bless each and every single one of them too…)
