Dan,
What is the situation in your little corner of the world?
The media is obviously neglecting everything outside New Orleans.

It's improving in the Mobile Bay area. Gasoline is still very scarce
and waits of 3-4 hours to get to the pumps are not uncommon. Here on
the Eastern Shore, it appears about 90% of power has been restored, but
in Mobile County there are still large areas blacked out.

It still boggles my mind how much more damage there is here than there
was from Ivan, a strong storm that hit much closer. The storm surge in
Mobile Bay was the highest ever recorded, going back 150 years--that's
from a storm that hit 120 miles away.
