Eleven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, southern Louisiana, where memories are still raw, is once again suffering through devastating flooding, the destruction of homes and business and loss of life.

There are several ways you can help. The Red Cross is taking donations at http://rdcrss.org/2bPBSPc, or checks can be sent with this form, http://rdcrss.org/1pFAgYj, to American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37839, Boone, Iowa 50037-0839. Or you can call (202) 303-4498 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
