Campbell Brown live from Houma on NBC, outside, police vehicles still on the ground, reporting light damage, siding, awnings, etc.

Jeff Ranieri live from Biloxi, gusts to 80 mph, sheet metal coming loose, trees uprooted, power out, just the beginning of the most intense effects.

Carl Quintanilla in NO parking garage (Hyatt garage?), Hyatt windows blown out, exposing frame, lamp poles down, aluminum siding torn loose, sewers still taking water, winds and debris currently a greater concern than flooding.

Donna Gregory in Covington LA, 40k people w/o power, electrical fire in home, FD cannot respond, standing water and flooding concerns, gusts above 100 mph.
