refuge at Tulane should be safe and sound in Lafayette or elsewhere.
That's good news, as is the news that Ken is safe..

"In New Orleans, Tulane University Hospital and Clinic, which was
surrounded by about four feet of water, lost both of its backup
generators to the flooding and began evacuating all its 200 patients,
30 requiring critical care. H.C.A., which manages the hospital, hired
20 helicopters to land in succession on its helipad, atop a parking
garage, and ferry the patients to Women's and Children's Hospital in
Lafayette, La., and elsewhere. In addition to the patients, more than
800 others were stranded at the Tulane hospital and also required
evacuation: members of the staff as well as their families, families
of patients and people who had simply sought shelter there."




	Anyone heard from Hans?
