My family is fine.Their area did not even succumb to any bad flooding. Aside from extensive damage to an already hopeless roof, they are are alive and well. Except I have no idea where my aunt is. Where she lived, Kenner near the airport, is almost completely under water. Hopefully she has gotten out.

 As the water level risees in new orleans, so does my anxiety. My great aunt (who is sick) and my brother left almost an hour ago to pick them up. I did all I could to explain that the bridge was dangerous and they knew not of what other dangers lay on the street---trees, downed power lines , "hot wires", cars...Though the information on the news is lengthy, it is still difficult to gauge locations...If Avondale is far enough from New Orleans as I pray it is, everything should be okay, and I should wake up in the morning with my sister in the house. If I can get to sleep...
