Thank God. I was hoping you got out of there. Hope your home is safe and sound, but even if you have sustained some damage, better it than you and your loved ones! Thanks so much for checking in! Big hugs coming at you, hon.

Thanks {{{all}}} we are happy to be safe. It does look like it will be some time before we can get home. I'm thankful we were able to get a room. Sadly I think it was at the expensive of some people from LA that jumped the gun trying to get home. That is who was checking out this morning. Then after we slept a couple of hours I got up to walk Bandit and all the cars from LA were gone the only ones left are from MS. I afraid they are trying to get home to soon and will be stuck sitting on the expressway maybe for days.

It is a great relief to know you are safe, Biloxibelle. Isn't it strange to have people you will probably never meet worried sick about you?

I have been out all morning and came here for hurricane updates rather than turn on the television. Many thanks to those who are posting updates.

Thank you all for the updates. I've been using them for friends of ours. His parents are somewhere near or in Biloxi (when he heard about the Beau Rivage he got very worried since they are somewhere close to there) and refused to evacuate, elderly and the father is patially handicapped. He's worried sick and waiting til he can get out of here and fly home, though no idea when that will be. We're praying after he talked to them the last time someone managed to get them to evacuate, but he doesn't know one way or the other yet.

CNN reports that finally some helicopters are able to leave the ground and start looking for folks that need rescue, and do surveys of damage. Also, they are getting boats ready for rescuing people from their flooded homes.

Thanks for that, Kar. I've been out for a while and was wondering what the latest was.

Your welcome, HP. I understand some boats have even been out to Dolphin Island to rescue folks that were stranded there. It's going to be a long long cleanup.

Another update from MSNBC, and Gov Blanco of Louisiana.

No sign of the seven people who stayed on Dolphin Island last night (Alabama). Dolphin Island is covered with water.

Boats are going into areas around New Orleans, 80 people rescued so far. Downtown NO not hit as hard as was feared, however some parishes are under 10 feet of water. Boats going into St. Bernards parish. A convoy of boats was coming in on the interstate to help with S&R, but the interstate was flooded, so they launched the boats on the interstate!

A nursing home in Metarie (sp?) was under water and 100 residents have been evacuated.

A small coastal town of 6000 called Diberville (Alabama), completely underwater. Not known if any residents tried to ride it ou, or if anyone is there currently.

CNN, from Lake Pontchartrain, LA. Only two boats doing rescues in that area. Some houses completely under water. Loss of life a large possibility, many deaths feared. People have busted holes in their roofs to climb through and wait for help. Water came so quickly, people are in barefeet and housecoats.

Local Baton Rouge station is doing an ariel flyby in a helicopter. Two major fires right now, one being the Yacht Club on Lake Ponchatrain. Another seems to be a large residence in Metairie, I believe. Major flooding in suburbs of New Orleans, literally thousands of homes. They also captured a rescue by the coast guard of a young man on the roof of his home.
