Anyone heard from him today? I know he was staying in NO, his wife is in the hospital. He posted early this AM that he got internet access back, but has anyone heard from him after the hit?

If you're out there, lefty, my thoughts are with you and your wife and kids...

among others.

2. Who knows if he has any power

The aftermath isn't going to be much fun. I hope he can get in touch with help, ours or more local, if he needs it.

4. I Pray That They'll Be Safe

But you likely won't be hearing from them for a long time. They'll be without power for days--- maybe even weeks. :(

47. Quick note

We've just gotten internet connectivity back.

The rain is pouring down, winds are high and getting worse by the minute.

Not sure how long we'll keep power, but please accept our thanks to the well-wishers out there.

11. kick...anyone hear from lefty yet?

Just concerned because I know his whole family was staying in NO, wife in the hospital, kids with him.

I know there's no power and no phones and the internet is probably the last thing on his mind, but if anyone hears anything, please let us know.

Thanks.

12. did he mention what area he was in? n/t

13. "Central New Orleans", according to a post last night

I imagine he's without power and of course internet access
