The initial purpose of this Weblog was to "match needs resulting from Hurricane Katrina with the talents and resources of the real estate community." Along came Hurriane Rita's disruption of lives, property and this weblog! Valiant and creative recovery efforts and stories will continue within the "Recovery" category. However, with Hurricane season fast approaching, the major focus turns to support of the Louisiana REALTORS goal of superior READINESS!

The Trees!

Posted at 10:35 AM, Oct. 21, 2005

The tree, fence, and landscape lloss due to Katrina and Rita is a daily reminder to those who are literally seeing their neighbor's homes for the first time. 

 

As hard as it is to adjust to the new landscape and the very real increase in sunlight, the economic and environmental impact is significant.  The Texas Forestry Service has a significant website with a great deal of recovery information.

 

The LSU Ag center estimates over $600 million in tree loss from Katrina alone.

I'd Rather Be in Boots

Posted at 1:12 PM, Sep. 2, 2005

Shirely Gutierrez echos the sentiments of many! She is a CENTURY 21 Bessette Realty agent and says "Hey, give me a can of bleach!" 

 Shirely means it when she says! "I'd rather be in boots!  I'll be a driver, a yard worker, whatever it takes. Count me in when the volunteer outreach starts....and I'm ready to start today!"

Sara In Action

Posted at 10:18 PM, Sep. 1, 2005

  If there is such a thing as a good bad day, this has been one!  None of us want to be entrenched in this ordeal. Regardless, the strength of our faith and the goodness of others makes us persevere. For example,  I received this photo minutes ago along with a tagline that went something like "Sarah Roberts, local CPA helps in New Orleans relief effort."  On a normal day, I would have known what my friend SARA (not "Sarah") was up to. These are not normal days and Sara is anything but normal!!!!  Regardless, I'm taking a WebLog master moment to brag about her and express my hope that her children (one or both will probably be Governor and/or President one day!)  and gorgeous husband obtain a superior copy of the photo. Love ya, Sara!!!
