Hope this helps you Shikra..it’s information on Jefferson Parish :

http://www.wdsu.com/news/4932784/detail.html

They keep changing the dates they are going to let people in, so check in with www.wdsu.com and www.wwltv.com to make sure that the Parish will be open and you can get your things.

Here is a ICNA contact in Houston and he may be able to help you:

Re: Hurricane/Hello from Shikra (merged)

Yeah, they keep changing the dates but we have already been there.

We went back to our house to see the damage on Sunday. The water level wasn't as high in our area as it was in downtown (what you saw on the news). However, everything that was on the floor was damaged up to about 2 feet. That includes walls, fridge, tv entertainment center, books, computer desk, sofas, carpet, beds, and almost all the electronics etc. Our neighbour's big tree had fallen on the store room in our backyard but that room isn't connected to the house. There was still water in one of the rooms. When you step on the carpet, the water comes out of it around your feet. But I am still glad that we are safe and the damage wasn't as much as compared to other people who do not have a house on their property anymore.

Thanks to all those people who have PMed me and offered me their assistance. You know who you are. I am not replying to PMs yet as I don't have enough time at the moment, but don't think I am ignoring you.
