Debbie if your neighbor left for New Orleans from FL, he will never get there, at least not today. I 10 is still closed in Pensacola, creating a lengthy detour, and nobody is getting into Mississippi (including reesidents) at the AL line. I-10 is not really passable in MS. But I did see this morning hundreds of Military vehicle (presumably national guard) moving west. May I make a suggestion if you are far away and wish to help, give blood. It will be critical in the coming days and supplies are not accessable in NO, and it will free up supplies in your area to be sent to the damaged area hwere needed.
