Hi Shirley, I am Julie previously from the Gold Coast Australia now 
relocated to Florida and I too, am grateful Katrina passed right over us but 

was only at category 1 when it hit Fort Lauderdale. I can empathise 
completely with you at moving and being confronted by such an event.
My family here and I felt we were prepared and now realise the difficulty of 

preparing for such total devastation and are appalled by the newsreports and 

the catastrophic devastation felt by the people on the gulf coast. We feel 
at a loss and helpless.
There are mothers there who could use information about breastfeeding, 
unfortunately the reports concentrate on babies needs as diapers and 
formula, all we can hope is that somehow the writers and newsreaders can be 
re-educated about babies real needs.

Now I am wondering if I can make a difference locally
