Bob Breck feeling very encouraged b/c storm is moving 16 mph and it's going fast. We're in one of the squalls. He's coming back at 7. St. Bernard Parrish President Craig Taffaro: we're feeling less cautious and more optomistic. Chalmette image on television they're getting sustained winds of 40- 50 mph with light rain bands. Fortunate on all fronts. Doesn't want to jinx it.

Bob said it will clear by afternoon. They'll make an announcement tonight about when people can return.

Craig Taffaro is very concerned about Mississippi I-10 closures and doesn't know why they broke an agreement with L.A. and didn't let people go East. I can't believe they don't know why.
Taffaro is not opening borders during the night tonight unless there is no damage or trees down. He's calling it a small level hurricane and will ask everyone to sit tight. If we can start bringing people back on Tuesday.
For those who did remain in the parrish, stay put. We are still under curfew and should not roam about while storm passes.

The French Quarter, what looks likeDecatur and Conti has no rain and electricity.
He said it looks like the area by the French Market, but since he does not have the image of The Abbey burned into his mind, he's wrong.
