St. Bernard Parish Update 9-14
With relatively normal communications now established, information has been released through more official channels. Here is some news that could be of interest:
1) I-10 between the Twin-Span and I-510 is still under water and is impassable without driving on the median with a large vehicle.
2) The fatality count from St. Bernard is now in the eighties with recovery still going on.
3) The St. Rita's tragedy was the lead story in the USAToday, though the article did not contain any unique information regarding the charges against the nursing facility owners than has already been promulgated through other media.
4) A little note on your elected officials. I've personally seen them work to the point of exhaustion to help our people that remained. All of them have worked far beyond their $500 per month council salary.
5) The oil muck at Paris Road on its eastern bank is still considerable. A car parked off on the side had muck up to its tire rim (a depth of several inches). Almost all residences between Paris Road and the Murphy refinery north of Judge Perez are inaccessbile because of this hazzard.
6) Business report: Rainbow, Taco Bell, the Republican Party HQ, Aarons Doughnuts near Jean Lafitte) and many nearby Village Square businesses, Blockbuster Video appeared decimated. The salon on Pakenham (old Video World), Gallodoro Insurance, SuperWalmart, and New Orleans Original Daiquiris seemed to have weathered the storm better by comparison. The brick wall facing JP at Prudential Realty was ripped off and the Hibernia Bank near the SuperWalmart was severely damaged (did a single Hibernia in the parish make it through the storm?). The Council on Aging Building is nearly demolished.
7) Parts of Judge Perez are almost impossible to drive across and are covered with debris. Telephone poles are leaning at an angle across the parish.
8) The entire area in front of the Winn Dixie on Paris Road is covered with dried mud.
9) Residents in Meraux near the 40 arpent canal in the vicinity of Legend are virtually gone. Numerous houses in Arabi by the 40 arpent are off their foundations and there is a house sitting in the middle of Rose Street.
10) Powerlines are down on the west bound side of JP between Paris road and Delille obstructing any traffic from crossing into the residential areas of west Versailles subdivision from Judge Perez.
