I've talked to Chris Williams, he and wife left New Orleans in time. I have not been able to talk to Jeffery Smith, but so far I've seen no bad reports from his neighborhood. I am monitoring blogs, TV and TV websites. There are lots of reports of flooding all over, EXCEPT Jeff's neighborhood. No news is good news. They have no power, and most phone circuits are down. Phone service is spotty all over the state, and I've lost DSL, and I did not have a drop of rain here. We are on the left side of the storm Looks like New Orleans is not lost, but I recognize places that are underwater. Circle Market, other things. Two of my old neighborhoods have water. One of the best stories about people who stayed was about the teacher who could not leave because of family things, and he had a safe place. He gave his students all his cash so they would have gas money. More later when I know more.
