Does anyone know the current situation in Jefferson Parish or St. Charles Parish?

They're letting people back into Jefferson Parish until tomorrow to inspect damage. Water is back in some areas. The parish will be closed for a few weeks to allow recovery efforts to proceed quickly. There's some flooding in Old Metairie and near Airline at the end of the 17th Street Canal. Some reports have said 15% of the parish is or was flooded.

St. Charles Parish faired very well. Water's back on in at least some of the parish, and the public schools set a tentative reopening date for the week of September 12.
