I live in Southwest Lousiana near the coast, so this very well could have been us. The schools here have to go to alternating the local kids one day and the evacuees the next day. I have friends that live in New Orleans area. We are going to get one tomorrow from Metarie because he is stranded and has nothing left. Everything he owned was destroyed. He's a lucky one, he survived the floods. When you have a Marine scared you know it was bad.
When you have a Conservative Republican in Meridian, Ms., saying they won't vote Republican again, you KNOW it's been bad and then impossible, for a LONG time.
