I just got word that my friend Darrell Baldwin Diggins made it out of New Orleans just in time and is okay. Details are sketchy at the moment - he’s either in Alabama or Georgia - and his family lost everything. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
UPDATE: Please visit Darrell’s blog for details about how you can help him.

I am soooo happy. Good to know….
I am happy to hear that he is ok. Now that we know Darrell is physically well, what can we do to support other aspects in rebuilding his life back.

Good to know that he is ok. I got his email as well.
I’m also waiting to hear word on other family down there.
Donald, thanks for the link, and for all the links to other blogs!
