Reggie Ford

 So, there's an artist in NOLA named Reggie Ford.  


After the tornado tonight, Reggie took it upon himself to redirect traffic

so that it wouldn't become bottlenecked after the storm did it's damage.  

Before emergency personnel made it to where Reggie was, he determined

what roads couldn't be used and found some traffic cones and closed off 

those streets.  Here's a video he made of  his kind deed.


Here's a link to his FB page for more videos

Heartbroken

 Not sure of the strength of it, but a massive tornado struck Arabi and the Lower 9th tonight.

First reports are not good:  a lot of homes lost, cars thrown about.  It just happened about an hour ago, 

so I'm just posting what I've seen.


My heart breaks for the Lower 9th and the pictures from Arabi remind me of Katrina damage.  Please - if you pray - please pray for all who lost this fight with mother nature.

WHAT will it take to stop Putin

 

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy showed this powerful video to Congress, depicting Ukraine before and during the invasion. NONE of the buildings destroyed were military targets. Hospitals were bombed. Children were murdered. The video ends with a familiar call for a no-fly zone: "Close the sky over Ukraine." Is there a way to close the sky without starting WWIII? I'm sure there is, but will Congress find a way? UKRAINE NEEDS HELP!
