dragoness_eWe're fine. We rode out the storm at my mother's old house, and had power the whole time, though the internet got shaky.

We're on the high side of town, so I don't expect problems from storm-surge flooding beyond street flooding. (Steve went out and cleared some storm drains that were full of debris on our street, which helped the street flooding situation a lot.) However, the south and central sides of town are about 3-5 feet underwater from storm surge.
Mostly, I'm really tired of being house-bound. Becky's on her way to Dragon*Con, so I worry about her getting there safely, as she's driving under the edge of (now) Tropical Storm Isaac. OTOH, she managed to get to Dragon*Con in 2005 driving through the storm-shattered wasteland that was Mississippi & Alabama after Katrina rampaged through, so I trust her resourcefulness.
