I am at a complete loss seeing the extreme damage in New Orleans, especially since the storm "missed" the city. My family is safe in a shelter in the city. They don't know what if any damage our home suffered. It was fine in the morning, but they haven't been able to get in touch with anyone (phone service is down) since a nearby levee failed (17th St Canal). Water is still rising in the area. It's hard to express how I feel now; I am not worried about the possessions, but the thought of the house/home I grew up in being detroyed is very saddening.
