Saw some film on WDSU about an hour ago...some of the water in the Metairie side of the 17th St. canal is going down. But the gap where the levee gave way is huge.
A friend of mine, an 84 year old lady may have been trapped in her home by Bayou St. John. That is sad. Aunt June is (I hope it is not was) a tough trooper, but little and frail. She could eat more than just about anyone in an all-you-can-eat buffet. Sigh.
I wonder what happend to my friend Morgan. He lived not far from June, but in a multistory building. His health wasn't good, either.
But one of my nieces lives in Covington. Unlike most of the rest of her family, she will have an unflooded house. Hope it didn't get smashed by a tree.
Thanks all for the info about my marine buddy.
