As soon as I woke up this morning and heard that some of the levees were broken, I knew that the worst-case I thought NO had avoided was going to come true.
Every apartment I ever lived in there is under water. Literally under. About 90% of the people I know who still live there are homeless. No one has heard from a lot of them--I just got off the phone with my mother, who added a whole bunch more to the list--and I hope they're on some rooftop somewhere with the helicopters in sight, because really that's the best we can hope for right now.
