There is still no electricity in many of the surrounding parishes. New Orleans itself has patches where electricity is online, although crews are still working to clear debris from roadways and restore more power to customers. Storms and tornados are passing through. The danger has changed from the hurricane to its aftermath.

By the time it got to Mandeville, La., where I had evacuated to from New Orleans, Hurricane Gustav was nothing more than a powerful thunderstorm. The wind was gusty and a couple of trees fell. But it was certainly nothing worthy of hiding out in a hallway or needing to take cover.
