Probably the most definitive article I've seen on Slidell all day.
oops...sorry about that ping...I thought I would just put that great summary on one thread.

Apparently this was a very big hurricane that affected the lives of a great amount of people.
Slidell Louisiana Ping
I have to admit I am fearing what happens when the media gets there. But this is the most def accounts I have see. Its bad when their own State Senator cant even get in.
In the comming months I would be very carefull about buying a used car. I bet a lot of them will be shipped out of the hurricane area for resale.
Hopes and prayers out to the folks at Red Simpson in Sliddel working on the lines...
I was in Slidell a few weeks ago. Went on a spectacular swamp tour on the Pearl River there. My wife and I are in utter disbelief over what is happening to that beautiful land.
Thanks for the post--we lived there between June of 99 and August of 2000--it is a nice town and I have been looking for information on what happened there. We lived in the Ozone Woods subdivision for anyone familiar with the town.
BTW, my brother is still in N.O. and we haven't heard from him since yesterday afternoon...pray that he is still safe and out of harm's way!
That whole area is so pretty--I hate to think what has happened to the place...nice people too.
VERY nice. The guy who led the tour was a former game warden and knew so much about that area. We could tell he really loved that area and his job. And he talked just like Emeril Legasse.
We're really sad. I hope they're up and running soon.

Okie- good thoughts and prayers for you and your bro-.

SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER BROTHER IN LAW WHEN SHE SCREAMED THE ROOF WAS LIFTING OFF AND THERE WERE MORE SCREAMS IN THE BACKGROUND AND THEN THE PHONE WENT DEAD.
We are her cousins in MIAMI FL and we just got our power back a few hours ago! (Freeper, ExSoldier) and family just returned home from a short stay on the West coast of Florida (the heat was killing pups and wife)
Her mother is out of her mind with worry. But she is pretty isolated in Lake City, Florida.
Husband Dave is a sheriff's reserve officer with the St TAMMANY Parish dept. We need a disposition on him and of course on the kids, son (9) and daughter (15) and the Dog, if possible.
Anybody who can help, PLEASE send me freep mail. So many others have helped with links to news stories from Slidell, but we need a look (or a report) at DONYA STREET specifically. EYES ON THE GROUND, so to speak.
