St. Bernard Parish spokesman Larry Ingargiola says the parish's two shelters at Chalmette High and St. Bernard High are suffering major damage. He said Chalmette High shelter is losing its roof, and St. Bernard High has plenty of broken windows and glass. He estimates 300-plus refugees at the two sites. Entergy says 317,000 customers were without power as of 6 a.m. Cleco reported 40,000 without power in St. Tammany Parish. Air conditioning out at Louisiana Superdome due to power outages. St. Bernard Parish officials say most of the parish has no power.
St. Bernard Parish is between New Orleans and Plaquemines Parish. Not good. Don't know if there is enough time during the eye to get those people out of the failing structures.
