6:03 A.M. (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of Americans are now refugees. Some say they'll return to the homes they abandoned because of Hurricane Katrina, but others are calling it a day. One New Orleans man sheltering in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, says "We got nothing." This is one aspect of why this disaster is "significant" for the nation. These people have no jobs and they have no homes......and neither will be likely in the next year. They will have to be relocated........maybe permanently. When they talked about sending the Superdome occupants to the Houston Astrodome.....I thought it was a bit odd. But now I understand what they are doing.......Houston is doing fairly well economically because of oil and maybe these people can get jobs in the Houston area. The kids will start school there next month and I think the authorities are hoping relocating them now will take some of the pressure off of NO. ted
