Hi Ish - well, my Baton Rouge family is fine but no word yet from the people in Biloxi. Nor the friends in New Orleans. From what I can tell from the pictures, my friends in New Orleans East and the ones in Jefferson Parish must have their houses underwater. The ones Uptown, maybe also. Also people I worked with over the years when I was in printing, lived in poorer places like Arabi and Chalmette. The flooding is just unfathomable to me. I've never seen anything like it in my life, except for photos of the tsunami last year. Can't wrap my mind around it. It's clear that the people who stayed behind were either the poorest of the poor, or old and sick. Looks like a lot of people with diabetes and other serious health problems. I expect that there will be a staggering number of deaths when rescuers can finally get to them. I am just dazed. Couldn't sleep.
