I entered a "looking for" and a Houston volunteer called to let me know my friend was at Astrodome safe Volunteers are at the astrodome with printed versions of the messages, taking messages from people at shelters to post online and walking through the shelter offering cellphone usage. Hopefully they are also doing this at other shelters so the networks can be connected, but it was very reassuring to me and the volunteer that called recommended the MSNBC site as being the most organized and effective. And she said she found my friend crying at the message board- overwhelmed that someone was looking for her.

Just released: So many people are now living in Houston's Astrodome that the Postal Service has created a zip code for it. The zip code will allow evacuees there to receive mail. The new code is 77230. Mail should be addressed to the person and "General Delivery, Houston, TX, 77230." via NOLA.com Message # http://www.nola.com/forums/reachingout/index.ssf?artid=1981 --Choconancy 00:42, 4 Sep 2005 (EDT)
