Astrodome-refugee post office 

Refugees at the Astrodome

We went to the Astrodome today.  One of our friends went down to volunteer this morning. He helped create some forms for people who are looking for lost friends and loved ones.  I didn't want to take too many photos, but here are some of the Astrodome where they are setting up a temporary post office and the media shanty town.
When we got there, they had more volunteers than they could use.  They said that over the past few days they were overrun with refugees, police, and people wanting to help.  We rode Metrorail down to the Astrodome, and the train was full of people from New Orleans trying to find their way around Houston.
