On Monday August 29 ISKCON New Talavan and ISKCON New Orleans were hit by Hurricane Katrina, a devastating Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 175 MPH. The eye of the storm came ashore near Gulfport and Biloxi, Mississippi, and passed within 10 miles of New Talavan.
By Krsna's grace and Lord Nrsimhadeva's mercy, everyone at New Talavan is OK. There were no casualties or injuries.
