The outer rain bands from Hurricane Katrina have reached Birmingham and the power has already blinked off once. We are doing our best to keep up with the headlines, photos and video over on the Locust Fork News page as long as possible before it goes dark here.

If you have details of damage or photos, e-mail us at fast 2 write (at) charter (dot) net.

Stay safe, and dry.

Phone service is out now in New Orleans, even cell phone service, so the chances are it will be hours, if not days, before more updates are possible from there.
