Cable now out, so no Internet (or TV) except via iPhone. But we're lucky French 
Quarterites still w/ power, so most comforts still here. And radio's scratchy 
voices tell us Isaac's stalled over Houma, so the bands of wind & rain  will 
probably be w/ us till late tonight.  We'd be toast if the pumps failed, cause 
stalled storm means rain, rain, rain.

But some folks outside the Federal levees (built by the parishes) in Plaquemines 
parish are in their attics w/ water to the ceiling beneath them.

Being  a Cat1, many in NOLA have stayed, but most of the City is now w/o power.

Thanks for the concern.  We'll be fine.

PS
The photo was staged last night during our Isaac party to be sent to local TV as 
devastation documentation.
