The usual print edition of the New Orleans Times-Picayune is being distributed online only today, and it has a few photos of Slidell (on pages 8 and 16), though none from either my neighborhood or Ann's. Click here to see it. I wasn't able to link directly to the pdf pages. I live about a mile and a half north of the store pictured in the article on page 8 with the childrens' play structures in front of it and flooded cars in the front. We still don't know very much, but there should be some helicopter fly-overs today that will tell us more. It looks like we'll be in Houston for another day or two, so perhaps we'll follow Craig's advice and go to Luling for some grub, I dunno. BTW, thanks, C! We have preexisting plans to visit Alexandria, LA, Saturday and Sunday, so we may just end up driving up there directly from Texas.
Update--the Orleans Parish-side levee along the 17th Street Canal between Orleans and Jefferson Parishes has ruptured, allowing water from the Lake to pour into the City of N.O. proper. You can link to WWL-TVs live streaming coverage here or here.

Randy, where and how are your boys doing, are they with you? Did you get to meet up with Ann and family for lunch yet? That sounds like it would be a nice time.
Take care,
TS
