I don't know. I'd have to scour a little. Others will know more quickly.

I just found this good map for Mississippi interests. It is about 68 kb from a newspaper, Clarion Ledger. It shows status across the state.

Here is a link.

Here is a Google link to news for Houma -

From that I found following:

"David and Wanda Milstead of Houma, a city in the marshes southwest of New Orleans, were among the fortunate.

David Milstead called the state police and learned that the roads to Houma were open. After two nights sleeping on lawn chairs purchased at Wal-Mart, they were going home.

Neighbors told them their house suffered some roof damage, but nothing devastating.

``They were saying before we left Houma that it might end up under 18 feet of water,'' Wanda Milstead said. ``That little jog to the east that it (the hurricane) did at the last minute really saved us. So I guess we were lucky.''
