My husband was able to reach my sister-in-law in Slidell on her cell, so apparently the hospital is okay. She is fairly well sedated though and didn't have a clue that she had just been through a hurricane, so we still don't know how the city has fared or the fate of other friends. Slidell has flooded badly in the past and they are situated next to the Pearl River.
Any news on damage in Sidell? Other information?
I am glad she is safe.
thanks for the update ... it is so stressful to watch this, and to have someone close in your family in her condition, and the 'not knowing' can drive you bats. We have friends whose pregnant daughter and hub decided to sit it out in Bay St. Louis, and I'm a wreck worrying about her, too. The rest of the family, all from NO and environs, took off to God knows where (mostly Texas).
Haven't followed your sis in law's story, but imagine being able to ride out a hurricane unaware of its passing? That is a magnificent scientific achievement.
