25. Talked to my sister in Ocean Springs MS this morning. Bodacious rain but they're on high ground.

I expect a lot of people will be glad they have to build up off the ground in a lot of areas post-Katrina.

My favorite live stream was out of Bayou Blue LA this morning, a sweet Boudreaux of a man telling everyone to stock up: "Now, the liquor's all gone. You can't find any alcohol but they've still got plenty food."

My people. Gotta love 'em.
