Just got off the phone with UV

I just got off the cellphone with UV. He is okay, his house has no structural damage, but the yard is a mess from all the tree limbs. He has no power, but his generator is providing all he needs and is keeping the air conditioning running.
He has no word on Another Joy, can't get ahold of the boatyard that has it stored. The birthday boy, Judge Trey, is going to fly UV and Andre around to check out the camp, the houseboat and the marina, they are also going to try to fly over to UV's sons house in the Venice area -- major damage in Venice, so I imagine that his son's home might not have fared as well.
UV told me that it is going to take at least a month before they are able to pump the water out of New Orleans, and that the city itself might be unihabitable for a year minimum.
The local news down there has been making grim estimates as to the number of deaths -- I'm not even going to repeat their estimates.
UV said it is 97 degrees down there, and he has the extended family with him as he had the generator to keep everyone as comfortable as possible.
He mentioned that there is still water over the runway at the major airport too.
He asked me to send his regards to everyone and let them know that he and his family are safe and fared a lot better than most did.
