We’re not in Kansas

Tornadoes, three in current estimates, roared through New Orleans last night. We slept through the storm (or at least I did) but neighbors tell us the wind and rain were fierce. The kind of night where the kids climb into Mom and Dad’s bed to feel safe. We are fine. Huge portions of the city are without power — including the Carrollton area, which was heavily hit by tornadoes. Abeona House is in Carrollton on the Riverbend. Although tornadoes touched down all around it, the school is fine. But they took out the area power grid, the school is closed, and we have no idea when power will be restored and kids will be back in school.

It’s sort of a snow day?

And a tragic one. Family and neighbors pulled a body of an 86-year old woman from the destroyed remains of her FEMA trailer. Over a year and a half later and an 86-year old woman is still living in a FEMA trailer.
