Michael,
I popped into the Misc forum to ask if anybody had heard from you; glad to hear you're OK and far away and my fingers are crossed for your mother and brother. Things have devolved to Stone Age levels in your neighborhood, and I'm sure that's why you haven't heard anything yet.
This run of weather is only slightly more humid than normal for NOLA, so just be glad you aren't that poor schmoe whose bass traveled down the Hudson. A whole city's sewage is nothing compared to that slime-basin, believe me.
