11:50 a.m.:St. Bernard Residents Forced Into Attics
Several people in St. Bernard Parish have been forced into their attics because of the rising water. In many homes, the water has risen above the second floor. “We know people are up in their attics hollering for help,” said state Sen. Walter Boasso. The state Department of Wildlife and Fish says it is standing by with 60 boats and will head out into neighborhoods as soon as the winds subside to assist stranded and trapped residents. — WDSU anchor Kriss Fairbairn.

I’m even more thankful that we have left.

Cell phone service seems to be spotty even though we’re in GA. If you need me or my parents call here.
