Onward, Paulito.

I spoke to Linda yesterday. Her son Shea's office in Denham Springs was flooded by 6 feet of water. My niece's home in Baton Rouge was too. They lost everything. Shea lost all his files and computers. Everything has to be gutted.

Bernard showed me a map that explains why Denham Springs was inundated.

Hundreds of people whose homes were swept away are still living in shelters, homeless.

Still under-reported. Areas from Baton Rouge to Lafayette are still in awful shape, some homes were in water the day I left August 28.
