Red Cross takes over where hotels leave off

More shelters open as people who had rented rooms begin to run short on funds

As many as 100,000 people from Louisiana and Mississippi have converged on Houston in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Perhaps more, especially with an estimated 23,000 people being evacuated en masse from the Superdome in New Orleans and relocated to the Astrodome.

Or maybe fewer.

No one knows for sure

As far as opening shelters and the refugee situation is concerned, it seems like this is a perfect opportunity for Lakewood Church to offer at least part of their huge new facility to the displaced.
