Hey everyone!

We did arrive home to Thibodaux yesterday afternoon without much traffic difficulties. We do not have any electricity, phone, cellphone or cable service.

I'm at my sister's house in Houma right now for the day while my husband is down the bayou bringing his mother home to her house that doesn't have electricity. She's elderly and insisted on going home.

There is no word on how long we'll be out of electricity. Between Thibodaux and Houma, there were many electric poles snapped in half. I know in the front of our neighborhood a transformer blew out.

We have our generator to keep our refrigerator and freezer cold and have one fan running. We're able to cook when needed but we need to get more food.

No stores are open in our town, no gas, no anything.

The news from New Orleans is absolutely awful. The failed attempt at repairing the breach in the 17th St Canal levee is devastating. There is upwards of 8-11 feet of water enterring the city.

The Superdome is being evacuated =-= people are being brought to Houston.
