NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Rescuers worked through the night to reach hundreds of people stranded after Hurricane Katrina ripped across the Gulf Coast killing dozens of people, destroying countless homes and leaving more than a million people without power in three states.

And authorities said they would not be able to reach some of the hardest-hit areas until first light on Tuesday.

The storm is blamed for at least 68 deaths and that toll is almost certain to rise. Mississippi officials said at least 55 people were killed there, including 30 who were killed in an apartment complex near the Biloxi beach. idiots ::) Alabama reported two deaths. The storm killed 11 people last week when it made its initial landfall in Florida.

If you can, log onto www.RedCross.org and donate to help the people devastated by this storm. The Red Cross is a great organization with very low overhead costs, they are one of the best uses for any charity money you might want to give to this disaster.

Your local Rotary Club has NO overhead costs. You actually have to pay to be a member. IMO that's the best charity to give to. If you give 100 dollars, 100% of that goes to charity.
