Water rising for author in New Orleans

From Vicki Hinze's web page for authors to check in who have been affected by Katrina.

Note on REXANNE BECNEL: Rexanne et al survived the storm but are still stuck in New Orleans and now the water is rising. Up to her porch. Situation is volatile at 10:30 A.M. Sat. 9/3/2005.

Scary stuff. From Vicki herself posts a very frustrating situation her poor aunt, a heart patient who had to be evacuated, faced in trying to get her meds. The bank she uses is under water and the druggist refused the check. She called vicki in tears... Come on people! this is ridiculous...
