I would also be interested in how the 400 block of Elmira is doing.

I notice that Jefferson Parish is at least being allowed back next week to check the damage. Is there any chance we can collectively petition to be allowed in to check things out?

Responsible people are more than welcome to use our house, especially once we have checked it out. Our landlord is on NOPD; maybe he could organize something?

Anyone know about 819 Nunez St between Homer and Slidel? It’s my first home and just wondering if it’s still standing.

Can you tell me about the 700-800 block of Pelican? I have relatives who live there. We know they are safe but don’t know about their house. Thanks for providing this service!

My sister has been thinking about helping in some way with their house - it seems to be in very good condition (so they’ve heard from you & neighbors). They have had limited access to computers where they are currently staying. They would definitely be interested in helping out in some way utilizing their house (especially if whomever stays their would feed the cat). Please feel free to contact them at anix74@hotmail.com if you have any leads on how to go about doing this.

Also, they couldn’t find their cat before they left and put food for it in their 2nd floor. IF anyone sees a white cat wandering around please feed it or contact them at the above email to get food for it. It’s name is “Happy”

Just an idea for those with friends and family members out side of New Orleans and LA. I’m here in West Texas with my parents and have decided to funnel my frustration and worry into something more productive. I’ve been writing letters to the editor and trying to get in touch with people here in the Abilene community to raise money for the Red Cross. A lot of times people distance themselves from these sorts of disasters by saying “it didn’t happen to me or anything I know”, by putting a local face of the situation you can movitvate people to become involved in the rescue effort. If anyone is intersted in joining me in letter writing or needs any help you can email me amberjmiddleton@gmail.com. At least this way we can make a difference, even when we’re trapped hundreds of miles away from home.

Thank you for the forethought. You all have done an excellent job in keeping us all informed about the Point. I live across from the firestation on Opelousas (422). I was wondering about the condition of my property (even though I have already assumed the worst and registered with FEMA). Any info would be appreciated on 422 Opelousas. Best wishes to all.
