Hurricane Updates

Most members of the Cavaliers evacuated New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina. In the days following the storm, there were urgent efforts to account for all of our members and our friends. This was hampered by unreliable cell phone service and limited Internet access, but eventually we were fortunate to find all of our friends were safe.

The email discussions beginning the day before Katrina hit can be read at our Yahoo Group at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CavaliersMC/messages/2267.

We frequently updated a running list of where our members and friends landed after the storm:
