text: Oh yeah, Mississippi coast got slammed good.  I drove through on my way back.
  
  I lived on N. Alexander, mid-city NOLA, right near City Park, Ralph's, Parkway Bakery.
  
  I had a 2nd floor apt. on a mountain top (18" below sea level).  Didn't lose any property to speak of.  Red Cross came by couple times a day leaving meals on the corners of each block.  Lotta red beans and rice.
  
  Had  friend in the Spoon (9' below sea level) lose his entire recording studio, 9' Yamaha Grand piano, bunch of old Hammond organs.
  
  My iMac got fried from the heat, and I had left an onion in the fridge that terned black and stunk a bit.
  
  Others had it w-a-y worse than me. Insurance crooks we're just evil.
