Another resource is Katrinacheckin.org.
What’s up with Katrinacheckin.org? Server not found…server not found—-pllllleeeeeeaaaaasssseee! Searching for information about Erika Weeks (formerly Erika Dorfi) and her young son of New Orleans—or her mother’s family—–the Kitto’s of Chalmette. Anyone know of these people’s status? Praying for everyone!
Katrinacheckin.org was working the other day. I don’t know what has happened to it.
Go to the forums at WWLTV whre they have threads for leaving information on searching for news on individuals, and individuals posting news that they’re ok. They have the ability for an alphabetical search, and you can leave a message in the forum. That forum is one of the better organized and has a lot of traffic.
