| Still no electricity this morning but we'll still travel there anyway. If I must, I can stay at my mom's or sister's homes. Crossing my fingers there will be electricity by the time we arrive. What is devastating is waking up to see that water from Lake Ponchartrain bridged the 17th Street Canal levees and is pouring into New Orleans. Absolutely awful. Have ya'll seen the photos of the Hyatt Regency Hotel with all the windows blown out? That hotel is adjacent to the Superdome. Lisa

| Glad to hear you and your family are safe. The stories about New Orleans,however, are not so good. I continue to pray for all of the people and their pets. |

| 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. Lisa

Thanks Jennette! It is good to be home even without electricity. However, ask me about that in a few weeks if I still don't have electricity. Lisa

| Lisa, Is there ANYTHING that I can do for you. If not now, in the weeks ahead?? Please, just let me know. I can imagine they will be bringing in only the bare necessities at first, (premium doggie food etc. will probably be way low on the official priority list!) and I know it will be quite awhile before we can send you things, but when the time comes don't hessitate to ask... I feel so helpless and worried for every one.

| Thanks so much for asking! My last purchase of Innova was a 33# bag so I'm good for a long time. The boys don't understand why they look so ragged . . . lol. The humidity is not nice to their appearance (neither mine) lol. I think we'll be alright. Its just harsh reality that things are nowhere near normal. Just found out that there is going to be a refugee camp set up at our university in Thibodaux (Nicholls State) for some of the people that are currently in the Superdome. Also 9 busses from Terrebonne Parish have been sent to the Superdome to get loads of refugees to bring to our Civic Center shelter and other shelters. These people are coming with literally the clothes on their back. We have a few bags of clothes that don't fit my daughter that we'll be bringing to donate to the refugees. I'll be going through my closet as well. I just can't imagine!!! Lisa

| I feel so sorry and helpless. Wish there was more I could do, but I will continue praying. Keep your chin up and your good attitude. God be with you. |
