I haven't heard anyone say more that 'Slidell is completely flooded', and it seems like no news - at times like this - is bad news.
It's good that some information is getting out, as bad as it is.
Re: Slidell - On another thread, I read where the Lake had claimed everything south of Gause Blvd in Slidell. If you were south of Gause, you're underwater. Gause to Old Spanish Trail, a little better. Old Spanish Trail to I-12, better. North of I-12, some got through it okay. All in all, not a good prognosis for the city which is mostly south of I-12. There was a picture of the I-10 bridge near an overpass that was "Big Isle" south or something like that south of Slidell and the interstate bridge was in sections.
