We heard from my brother in Mobile, and they're all OK. He lives close to Mobile Bay, and we were afraid the 22 foot storm surge buried them under water. They had some flooding and some wind damage, but were up high enough that they didn't take the brunt of it.Their main problem was no power and phone service during the days after.

He had gone to New Orleans to get my (8 months pregnant) niece and her family the night before it hit, and then there was no word for 4 days. My niece and her family are OK, and she has settled down so she has not delivered yet. I think I would have. LOL She's been very upset because they think their house in New Orleans is under water, and because she won't have her doctor when she delivers. They will stay in Mobile with my brother, and she has now accepted having the baby in Mobile. When they are allowed back in, my brother and her husband will go into New Orleans to see what's left, if anything.
