This morning, we received a call from our church member in New Orleans, telling us that my mother in-law and her sister's house caught fire yesterday, and suffered severe damage.
My husband and I were able to see the extent of the damage to the house on wdsu.com ("Video: Fire Destroys Three Houses In Mid-City"). Our brother-in law is there, and he had given us an up-close, detailed account of what has been destroyed.
The family is in an uproar; my husband has been on the phone since this morning. We are going to try and do our very best not to let the younger ones know about this yet, because they really had their heart set on going home really soon. Now, it seems the return home for us will take longer than we expected it to. Matthew is going back to New Orleans Saturday.
God will take care of everything; knowing that still doesn't stop the news from being devastating.

Adrian,
I am so sorry to hear about yet another horrible blow for your family. I have gotten so wrapped up in my own problems lately that I haven't been visiting my friends journals as usual. I finally said tonight I had to put my problems aside and say a friendly hello to everyone and then I come and hear this from you. It takes a strong woman to get through all you've had to get through my friend, but I think you're one of the strongest woman I know and you will get through it. You are in my thoughts always. Take care.

Oh Adrian, I am so terribly sorry. How awful. I pray noone was injured. I think maybe God is trying to keep you in the great state of Texas. Will keep you and yours in my prayers.
Hugs, Barb
Adrian,
I don't know what to say. I'm sad to hear this. You have already been through so much; my heart breaks for you and your family. I wish I were rich. I would give money to all the people in NO. Well, we did after Katrina but I guess it wasn't enough.
Big giant hugs to you and your family.
Dianna
I'm very sorry, my prayers to you and your family.
