That's a good question right now.
Some of our beloved AW members who live on the Gulf Coast have not been heard from since Katrina hit. This thread is being started as a central place for them to check-in as they are able.

Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

So far, we are missing:

Poppy Hullings (Poppy Hullings) - FOUND/SAFE

Molly Marx Brent

Pam Veselinovic or Glidewell (Eldragon) - FOUND/SAFE

Elisa da Silva (Elisadasilva)

(And I know I'm missing a bunch.
Other members--please add names of members we've missed.)

There's a missing/safe list on NOLA, too. And I'm sure there are others. Maybe a few of us could volunteer to each take a different list and look for information about our missing members? While we are concerned about them, understandably AW will be low on their list of places to contact.

If anyone is willing, PM me with the list you're volunteering to take and I'll supply you with the missing members' legal names if they're available. If they're not available... We'll just have to continue to wait.

Thank you so much, Cabinscribe and Unique!

I *know* our missing AWers have higher priorities than checking in here, but it doesn't make my anxiety lessen one bit as the days go on. Come home, ladies... we're all worried about you and praying you're OK.

Thanks for the new list, Anne.

I just checked the CNN list, and didn't find any of our members either.

POPPY FOUND!

I, um, decided to start looking for phone numbers and calling. Poppy and her husband are home and safe. They have down tree limbs and are currently without power; their phone just came back on last night.

I tried to track down phone numbers for the others, too. I have located two possible phone numbers for Eldragon, but neither are working. It's not too surprising, because it looks like geographically, Pam's home is in a little town across the bay from Biloxi.

I haven't been able to track down phone numbers for Elisa or Molly at this point, although there are many possible da Silva's in the area. If anyone has any additional data that might help me narrow things down, please let me know. Obviously, I'm not too shy to pick up the phone and call.

WONDERFUL NEWS! I was just looking at a map where she would have been located and feeling my stomach sink.

This calls for a dancing banana of relief: :banana:

Make that two dancing bananas! :banana: :banana:

I love you guys. I have Molly's phone number. Last I tried, it just said "service unavailable." It's a little late now, so I'll wait until tomorrow and try again.

That's so wonderful that Poppy & Eldragon are safe and ok. So hope that too, for the others here and other places. Thanks so much for keeping us all informed. Most appreciated. :banana:

Oh, my God!!


Poppy! Pam! I've been sick with worry! Thank God you're okay.

And thank you so much, Pam, for taking the time to tell us your story. I can't even imagine the nightmare...

I'm so happy you're safe. Thanks for checking in...

Hating this. Molly's phone # is now disconnected. I called the Red Cross and they have nothing on her yet. Nothing on Elisa, either.
