Glenn Reynolds and others have organized a drive for charities for the purpose of hurricane relief. I choose Catholic Charities, like so many others. We will give at church this sunday. They did good work in the Asian christmas tsunami last year, and they will undoubtly help here in Houston, with the flood of refugees expected. I have a hard time coming to grips with the word myself (like the CNN anchor this evening), but it's reality.

Update: CNN reports the first buses with injured people are coming to Houston at daybreak. I think that's what FEMA was trying to say. So I think the flow will start tomorrow at around dusk. But who knows. Certainly Houston is gearing up to deal with it.

Update: Got a odd call today, I was spearheading the volunteer drive for our school (400-500 students), a student called and offered her apartment which she just moved out of until the end of Sept. Craigslist New Orleans has housing links...Very generous of the student. I think that's one thing that should be surprising but still is; how many people here want to stop everything and help these people.


Update: Supposed to add these tags:

When you post on your own blog about your selected charity, also be sure to link to Glenn's roundup post, and include the Technorati flood aid and hurricane katrina tags.
