Carnival of Hurricane Relief, #98
This is the 98th Carnival of Hurricane Relief. The first was hosted by Glenn Reynolds at the urging of Hugh Hewitt with the support of N.Z. Bear in direct response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast in 2005. It also includes areas damaged by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma.
Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!
See the CoHR homepage for details.
