This storm has worse stats than Katrina. The hospitals are packed with covid patients and much of the area is expected to be without power for weeks.

I would give to any other charitable organization doing that kind of work, samaritan's purse for one before i would ever give a penny to RC again.

Ok, then find another. Thoughthe Red Cross is best right now. They are the group already there with 1000s of people, ready to help.

Numerous tractor trailers with industrial sized generators were brought into the area yesterday and are in staging for the hospitals.
Katrina was wider and wetter at 905 MB pressure. Ida is more concise but windier at 933 MB pressure.
Peak storm surge with Katrina was 30 ft. Peak with Ida projected at 20 ft. at most.

Cajun Navy would be a good place if you wish to donate. Louisianans doing the work that the feds are often unwilling or hesitant to do. I'm sure many of you remember what the Red Cross did with their donations for 9-11 victims.

The Red Cross? After their debacle in Haiti? Not a hope in hell they'll ever see a dime of mine.

How the Red Cross Raised Half a Billion Dollars for Haiti and Built Six Homes

Even as the group has publicly celebrated its work, insider accounts detail a string of failures

I figured i would get a litany of contrived excuses. Not my first time visiting USMB. Unfortunately for everyone's contrived excuses, the Red Cross is the one charity organization in the best position to help the victims. So hold your nose and donate.

no thanks. You're kidding yourself if you think they're doing anything other than MINIMAL.

My son goes to other states when these things happen. AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. how 'bout you?

And you are kidding yourself to think any other organization is there and poised to help. I will take minimal over nothing. But when we are in need of someone who shits on everything so that he can never be wrong about anything, we will donate to calypso jones.

Only donate to areas you approve of. There is to much corruption with donations. Phuk blue areas if your are red. Get it.

oh who made you the frackin' expert. You know nothing. Stick your RED CROSS where the sun don't shine. For the rest of us. We'll donate to locals, churches, Samaritan's purse and others that are not in it for the profit. Now see if you can come up with more insults. I'm sure you'll manage it.

Yes, actually! Once when i was young. Dont know if it was official. Sandbagged. Again later to help blood drives. Not too many disasters in these parts, so i pretty much send money as an adult.

You can volunteer at any time for helping blood drives. They even give you a sticker!

But no, i have never been the boots on the ground at a natural disaster.

You aren't going to help their cause by talking down to people.

I understand all of that. Nevertheless, the Red Cross is the best choice, right this minute, for donating to help the victims of Ida.
