Michigan Avenue in Metarie
Regarding the question about Michigan Avenue in Metarie. Michigan Avenue is on the correct side of the 17th street canal, so it's not flooding from the levee breeches. I also heard on the radio that the water in Kenner has begun to recede, SO IF the water did not reach your home in the first place(which is what all the information I'm looking at tells me), your home SHOULD have escaped the flooding. You need to prepare for the worst though. When New Orleans gets alot of rain, what's your neighborhood like? Do the pumps get the water out pretty quickly under normal rain conditions? Has your house ever flooded? The levees are really being tested because they are full, wet on both sides in most cases, and the authorities can't monitor them as they normally can. If there are more breeches, all bets are off, but as it stands, I believe while you may have had some minor flooding in your neighborhood, your home should have remained dry.

Dear friends have home on Taft Park 2 blocks toward lake from Veterans Blvd. but before getting to W. Esplanade Ave N...I think West of N. Causeway Blvd. - surrounding streets: Napoli, Ferran, N. Turnbull - Lakeside Shopping Center is probably about 1-2 miles East. We have heard from them - they did get out but we're trying to help them find out if home is under water. Thanks so much.

I am trying to locate the Adkins family. The last address I had for them was on Transcontinental Dr. in Metairie, LA. How can I find out about them or do you have any information.
Thank you
