Refugess Coming to Wisconsin

It looks like some refugees fleeing the devasation of Hurricane Katrina will be making their way here to Wisconsin. The Emergency Operations Center opened not half an hour ago and is just one floor below me. Folks there are helping coordinate refugee housing and services. So, if you come across someone with a severe Southern accent, they could be a refugee from the storm. Perhaps some will just stay here in Madison and, of those, perhaps one or two will open a restaurant so I can have access to even more Southern cooking! Mmmm...fried catfish, BBQ, fried chicken...mmmm...

EDIT: Damn! All the evacuees are going to West Allis, Milwaukee, and Kenosha.
