Nola, glad you made it out. My uncle lives on the East Side and took off during the weekend, making it to Houston Sunday morning to stay with my other uncle. His home is definitely submerged and he's worried he won't find any of his belongings.

I was in NO last year before the Sugar Bowl (LSU vs OU) and have great memories hanging with family and seeing the city, partying with LSU fans. But, my thoughts and prayers go out to those who stayed behind.
