"Did you see the guy who lost his wife in the rushing water? Sad :( I'm all freeped out and my mind is overloaded. I'll check in later to make sure our freepers are okay."
I didn't see that, but I can't help wondering how a certain family of three are. I was watching Fox and CNN all day Sunday after the evacuation orders were given. They briefly interviewed a woman in N.O. who was shown with her boyfriend and three year old daughter on their small houseboat. She said they were going to "stick it out" on the boat. I can't get that darling little girl out of my mind. I just can't believe they stayed.
I saw that woman and her daughter too. I've wondered how she fared in all this. And Jackie who had such a lovely attitude and waited to get into the Super Dome for hours.
I saw that same family! and I saw an update. They all survived--the little girl actually slept through most of it. Those shrimp boats are built like a tank. The woman said the boat rocked a bit, but no major damage. When I saw them before the storm, I assumed they would be dead by the end. Good news in the midst of so much bad.

I believe I saw a follow-up report yesterday on them and they were fine.
