Thanks CJ.
They're ok. They are staying with other relatives in Bogalusa. Still no electricity in Bogalusa. House in Bogalusa is undamaged. Unknown the status of the house in Slidell. Assuming the worse.

Trying to talk them into coming up here but they fear their house will be gone (robbed, burned, ransacked) when they return. Another relative is going down this weekend with a pickup truck of stuff we got locally here. Maybe he can get an idea of when electricity returns. With Entergy crews from the midsouth starting in Jackson and Baton Rouge and working their way towards the coast, it doesn't look good.

A chemical warehouse fire that started this AM has spread to other warehouses. They are trying to fight the fire with water from fire boats but most of the warehouses can not be reached by water from the boats and I don't think NO fire trucks can get to the area. This is the thing I have feared the most........fires burning out of control.
