My heart goes out to you and your family Penny. I hope you hear from all of them soon.
I watched an hour of news videos online this afternoon and the devastation is terrible. You provided me with my first news on the Slidell area. One of my best friends lives in Lacombe and I am worried as I had not talked to her recently and they frequently have flooding. I am hoping she was able to evacuate safely and am waiting to hear from her. But I have little hope that their home was spared damage.
