Re: iSeries friends in NOLA

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

NOLA is under defacto marshall law with shoot to kill orders.  Frankly the 
CBD is nothing more than a big pool of sepsis.  Comm/telco in the area 
south of I-10 is down.  Folks are communicating with CB and Ham radio. 
Cops don't even have comm.

I trust you saw the front page to today's NY Times.

In all probability, they don't have a company to go back to at this point 
and like many others are in rebuild mode.  My cousin probably lost his 
company as well, and home (they were 2 blocks from the dike that broke). 
But once things come back together down there, they will have need for his 
company and I expect them to rebuild.  It's a very fluid situation and 
just going to take a while to filter itself out.

There are several lists around of people looking for missing and just 
saying they're alive.  Craigslist is one and there's others.

BTW, has anyone heard from Hoss?

Don in DC
