Wow. It's really great to see that Bungie is offering to rally for assistance. This is a perfect example of the will of good people - how often would you associate the gaming community with aid in times of a natural disaster? I mean this sincerely - you guys have to be setting a precedent.
While I myself live in Jackson, we too felt the impact of Katrina. It wasn't until yesterday that the full emotional effects set into place. Watching footage of those areas hit by the brunt of the storm was horrifying. My grandparents used to live in Biloxi, and not being able to identify anything within the region really hit me hard. In our apartment complex in Jackson, we spoke with a woman who had fled Gulfport, but did not know the whereabouts of her husband. I could only pray that they would be reunited safely, and hope that all others affected along the coast and in New Orleans would be able to pick up the pieces. Restaraunts and grocery stores across the state have lost power, but that hasn't stopped them from giving out food to those who need it.
Once again, it's great to see so many people willing to help in such times of loss - never underestimate what you can do. At this point, you could be changing someone's life, at the least! Give blood, make a monetary donation, or even food if there's such a place in your area.
