The East Bank of Orleans Parish? Some of the East Bank is doing comparatively fine. Not that any of this if fine, except in comparison. Kenner has some power already according to the Kenner mayor as of last night. Harahan came out relatively unscathed. And Bonnabel to the 17th Street Canal sounds ok. The breach is on the other side. And Old Metairie sounds all right. If you can count all right containing no or contaminated water, no electricity, and lots and lots of wind damage. But not catastrophic.
Orleans and Plaquemines and St Bernard are devastated. My heart goes out so much to them. There are some from there here in the hotel, and they're trying so hard to find hope.
We were picking my inlaws up from a shelter not far from NO last night and got WWL 870. I wish they internet streamed.
