OT: Olwyn Mary Info

Well, Olwyn Mary will HAVE to evacuate now since there has been a mandatory evacuation issued. I just got a look at a map and it shows the current flooding from Lake Pontchartrain is still on the other side of the Mississippi. Olwyn Mary's home is in what I consider Old New Orleans -- with your back to the river, she is to the left of Canal Street. I am now watching a live report and it looks like the reporter is standing in the downtown area and there is no flooding. I'm not sure which intersection he's at but it IS in the area I consider Old New Orleans -- around Canal & Bourbon Streets -- I recognize the signs on the buildings. This means that there isn't any flooding in the area of Olwyn Mary's home as she is situated higher than all of the surrounding area. That is good news. I just wish I could speak to her but I doubt if that will happen. The phones were out when I tried to call last night but I will keep trying and you KNOW I will post if I hear from her. I made sure she had my phone number so she could call me if she needed. Since I live in the Atlanta metro area I have told her that she is welcome here if she can get to an airport that will fly her here. I know she will go to her family but she might have to go through Atlanta to get anywhere. CiaoMeow >^;;^<
