For obvious reasons, the people inside the Point who have been trying to take a look at houses for those who are anxious will not be able to do this for now.
They will be limiting themselves to supply runs only.
And a reminder – if you have supplies in your home that you feel could be useful to those still on the Point, do NOT use the comments function on the blog. Contact me directly at polimom@hotmail.com. I also need a way to contact you, either by phone or fax.
More later…

Before I even start this post, you need to know that the residents on the Point who were involved are all okay. Repeat: they are okay. They’ve just had a shooting incident on Pelican. Everybody (the residents) were sitting outside …
FEMA and the Red Cross are no doubt standing ready – again – to swoop into a hurricane-devastated region. Since parts of Texas are likely to be faced with some of the same issues as LA and MS, there are …

I know checks are suspended, but was there any word on the 900 block of Verret or the General Meyer and Flanders area.
Still monitoring your board from up in Canada. I am so sorry to hear about the deteriorating situation. I’m glad that none of your friends was hurt in the shoot out. My thoughts are with them. It sounds like some of those men and women trying to defend Algiers Points are real heroes.
Also, my friend who hadn’t heard from her firefighter husband in almost three days got a text message from him this morning, so that’s good news.
Thank you so much for protecting our neighborhood! I’m so sorry we can’t be there to help you. This whole thing makes me physically sick!!! I realize it’s not safe to check on properties right now, but if and when you can, please report back about 700 block of Opelousas Ave (across from the elementary school.) I am worried about looting, as is everyone. Please continue to keep us posted on our lovely neighborhood. Where is the National Guard??? Police? The Westbank seems to have been totally neglected!
Most importantly, Stay Safe!
