Did your folks evacuate?
Being from NO, both our families and all our friends are still there. We know of some that evacuated (my mom, sister, brother - have heard from no one since they evacuated). And there's so many other siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends - that we were unable to contact everyone before storm hit. So we don't know who left, who stayed.
I'm sure I lost my house in Slidell. My dad passed away last year and we kept the house because he built the whole thing with his own two hands. That was the last "piece" of him I had and believe I've lost that too. But trying to keep all in perspective and if all our loved ones have gotten out of this with their lives - I will consider myself blessed.
