So, I’m listening to some FEMA spokescritter on WWL-AM try to explain the “transitional assistance” program to house people whose homes are still uninhabitable. Someone finally nailed him on FEMA’s promise earlier in the week to help pay for evacuees hotels. The mouthpiece tried to make it sound like a regional press flack mispokes hisself to [...]

Ok, I-59 during the evacuation was not precisely the Highway of Death. Still, many Louisianians were trapped in a miles-long parking lot with no way to exit: not exactly a healthy environment. If no elderly or infirm person died it was mostly a matter of luck. (Note: I went up I-55, the Highway of Shoot [...]

That site shows I-10 closed to east-bound at US 51 in St. John the Baptist Parish, the I-10 Twin Spans [...]

Here some bits of information coming back from the blogger embeds and others: From Michael Homan in an email to our Mid-City Neighborhood Association mailing list: I walked S.

Twelve hours to Memphis. Mrs. doesn’t do highways well, much less endless bumper to bumper, so I was way over on hours behind the wheel, just cruising on coffee and trail mix from 4 am to 4 pm. Been in frantic Twitter with peeps plus watching weather sites for last couple of hours. The 10 [...]

Everyone on the Hurricane Coast, and most of all my people of New Orleans: I’ll see you on the other side. We are the people who came through, the people who remember. Whatever happens, we will rise above. Toulouse Street is strangely quiet. I haven’t seen a bird today, but as dusk approaches they are callling [...]
