Martial Law
Staggering.
Two parishes in lower Louisiana have declared Martial Law. I don't think I can remember when the last time anywhere in the USA has had such a catastrophe that such a decision was necessary.
My best friend lives very near New Orleans. I have not tried to contact him since the hurricane hit, but I really hope he is okay. I am going to call his parents in St Louis soon, hopefully they'll have spoken to him and will know how they're faring where they live.
Here is a link to text updates from the city.

Oh man. I hope he is ok. I'm sure he was one of the smart ones to leave when the evacuation notice was given.
He and his family are fine, they're in St Louis. I just spoke to him on the phone tonight. They evacuated Sunday, but Mandeville is right on Lake Ponchartrain (north side), and they have no idea if they even have a home to return to at this point. They're worried and totally cut off from friends and co-workers there, but they're healthy and they're not stranded in the Superdome.
That's great news! Hope everything turns out all right for them down there...
