Having lived in Biloxi for 4 years, courtesy of uncle sam, I know the risks. We left when we got the chance and that was right ahead of Camille ('69) which devistated the place. It was pale compared to this. People there and in New Orleans were/are aware of the risks. They cooose/chose to stay for their own reasons. Our friends, still there and unaccounted for, lived there all their lives and weathered a lot of storms. This was their home and they weren't leaving. The family had been there for generations. My aunt lived on Elysian Fields Ave in NOLA (a beautiful (was) boulevard with a wide median full of Oleanders and plams, for 20 years knowing full well the city was subject to this kind of holocaust. She had her share of storms and every storm brought at least torrential rains and flooding......even when the levee's held. One problem with NOLA and suburbs, is that, due to the petroleum industry in LA, and the gulf, lots of support activities have to be located there and that puts the employees at risk. The pay is super, but so is the risk as we have just seen. So, there just isn't an easy answer. Hard to think about anything else but there's nothing I can do, at least till they open the place back up. If our friends need some help, money, housing, or whatever, we'll give it to them. But, having not heard from them, nor having been able to contact them, we just sit and wait. Mark
