Assalamu alaikum, The following article written sent by Kelly Izdihar Crosby of New Orleans, she is one of the iViews.com contributors. Admin ==== Salaam alaikum, Islamicity editors. As you know, Hurricane Katrina has devastated much of the Gulf South region. I have written some articles for you before about Iman Muhanna Mohammad and Mukhtar Mai. My name is Kelly Izdihar Crosby and I am native of New Orleans. We just left New Orleans yesterday and we are sure that we have lost everything but by God's grace we are okay. It's very hard to me to express what I am feeling right now. In the blink of an eye, my life and the lives of millions of people on the Gulf Coast region of the Southern United States has been changed forever. I am here in Atlanta, Georgia, in the safety of my mother's friends where the weather is sunny and dry. But just yesterday, August 30th, 2005, we were escaping the ravages of my home city, New Orleans, Louisiana. My family and I were blessed. We made shelter at the Louis Armstrong International Airport which is miles away from the metropolitan New Orleans area. We couldn't have imagined what has happened. While at the airport, we had electricity, running water and food. In a day, the power went out and the water could not be consumed. We were running out of food and the weather after Hurricane Katrina's wrath was unbearably hot. I saw tourists who had come to New Orleans looking for a good time stuck in the airport with their pets, children, suitcases and worried faces wondering when would they make it back home. But our situation fared much better than those in the "Crescent City" and Gulfport, Mississippi.
