Truman Sailors Prepare to Volunteer ABOARD USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (NNS) -- As USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) anchored 50 miles off the coast of Mobile, Ala., Sept. 4, her Sailors made preparations to go ashore in case they were called upon to support the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Truman Hurricane Volunteer Coordinator Senior Chief Aviation Electronics Technician (AW/SW) David Clark believes such a large number of Sailors are volunteering because many have gone through hurricanes, and seeing the destruction Hurricane Katrina caused along the Gulf Coast moved them to want to do more. Before Truman departed her home port of Norfolk, Va., more than 50 members of her crew went to Chief Aviation Machinist’s Mate Ned Tua of Middleberg, Fla., who is the ship’s volunteer services coordinator, and asked him if there was anything they could do to help. www.navy.mil /search/display.asp?story_id=19920   (726 words)

Sugar Bowl weighs two alternate sites - The Boston Globe That is the choice for the site of this year's Sugar Bowl, as the Bowl Championship Series commissioners met yesterday in Chicago to discuss plans for moving the Jan. 2 game, which was scheduled for the Superdome in New Orleans before the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina. Hoolahan said Sugar Bowl and BCS officials would monitor the situation in New Orleans for the next three weeks, while also formulating a contingency plan to move the game to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

Hurricane Katrina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some disaster recovery response to Katrina began before the storm, with Federal Emergency Management Agency preparations that ranged from logistical supply deployments to a mortuary team with refrigerated trucks. For other storms of the same name, see Hurricane Katrina (disambiguation). Storm surge was high because of the hydrology of the location, the hurricane's extreme size, and the fact that it weakened only shortly before landfall; waves were even larger as many had been generated while the storm was at Category 5 intensity. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hurricane_Katrina   (6700 words)
