    I really hope LA is recovering ok. I was about 11 when hurricane Hugo hit the SC coast smack dab where we lived in Charleston. Not nearly as bad as this one, but pretty bad. Anyway. I wanted to share my Slidell Hotels page with your visitors. Hope it’s ok. If not, no worries. Take care.

    also, aerial damage photos of the entire slidell area are available at the website for the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (just key in NOAA in your search engine and click on hurricane katrina damage photos) There will be boxes to click on, the oak harbor area is actually shown in a couple of the boxes that look like they would be in lake ponchatrain. it may take a little time but you should be able to find your street if you are familiar with the local landmarks.
