Sophie said they were going to get something to eat at the government building with Parish’s president -Craig P. Taffaro Jr. They were going to go to the house after dinner. She said that the Parish didn’t have any flood water but many power lines were still down along with many trees. The power was off in much of the area. They were glad to be back in the Parish to say the least. Sophie said that in Mannsville near Alexander,La. They had much more flooding and wind damage. I was not able to reach Charles tonight but he said he was hoping to get into St. Bernard on Wednesday. c/o Mark Miller 2008-09-03 13:05:592008-09-01 22:27:00
