I just woke up and there's not a lot more info since last nite. We have no idea if there's flooding or the amount of it near Richard & Jonno's and Robert's homes. Don's sister and her husband should be leaving Algiers (on the Westbank of NOLA) today or tomorrow to come stay in our townhouse. My friends Tanner and Vic are making their way back from Houston today and we've found them housing with other friends of ours here in Lafayette.

This is all just so surreal. I don't think I had mentioned that our friend Roger here in Lafayette had been unable to find out anything about his parents who lived in Lakeview, each of them in their 80s. We found out this morning that they were rescued yesterday. They had to go to the attic of their home and managed to knock a vent out, but were unable to break a whole in the roof. When a rescue boat got to them, they had to swim back down through their flooded house and out the door to the boat. It's sooo Shelley Winters in Poseidon Adventure... Did i mention the word surreal already?

I have to go to work shortly, so I won't be updating again until after 7pm central.
