My dad is okay

For those who asked or were wondering, my dad is okay. He had initially considered braving the hurricane but changed his mind when he heard how bad it was going to be and drove to Lafayette to stay with some friends. Now he's on his way to North Carolina, where he'll hang out at home until New Orleans gets the all-clear. No idea how the apartment is, of course--it looks like the Quarter didn't get too much flooding but he does live on the first floor so it might still be waterlogged, not to mention looted. He's okay, though, which is the important thing.
