From Martin (New Orleans Update)

My family lives about two hours west of New Orleans,
by Lafayette, so they didn't get anything close to the
damage in New Orleans and further east. My dad has a
cousin who had to evacuate to Houston and will
probably end up staying there for a couple of months
because his home and office are under water. After
flying out of N.O. just this Saturday, it's hard to
imagine how bad it really is.

Thanks for your concern,
Martin
