WDSU still asking for Slidell residents to call in.

Worrisome.... none of the 30K residents has called yet?

No...some people here earlier were asking about it too....

There's always that disturbing delay in Hurricane damage reports . . . all seems fine, because everyone who's okay checks in and says "okay here" . . . but no news is not good news in the "quiet" areas . . . and the Media is very inept at getting the story out . . .

I haven't heard anything from Picayune, MS yet either.

I just got a call from a resident of Slidell who evacuated but got a call from some one in the city government there before the communication went down. So this is third hand hearsay, the description he received was "total devastation". Since then I haven't heard of anyone either establishing contact or receiving news. I am very anxious.

Hopefully, that's because both land and cellular phone lines are out of service in the area. I would think that cellular phone towers make inviting targets for hurricanes.
