1. We were in Baton Rouge just a couple of week ago visiting my wife's family

Her folks live in one of the hardest hit areas and have just recently returned to their home. They're lucky, they had flood insurance even though the house wasn't in the 100 flood plain. Their house took on four feet of water and they lost nearly everything, but they were able to move forward with essentially rebuilding the interior of their house because of flood insurance.

Everywhere you go in the area, the community of littered with FEMA trailers. Debris is still stacked up in mounds in places. The entire community has a dingy gray haze.
