Anybody heard from Rich Touart?

Oh dear, he was in NO, wasn't he.

Mr Gabrielle narrowly escaped the flooding in Tirol last week. This is
all feeling too familiar. :P

Alabama. But I bet he saw some weather. The last of Katrina is raining
on my house as I write.

<shudder> Yikes. I sure hope he's ok.

Someone was speculating that even if they get the current flood situation
under control, there is still the possibility of Mississippi floods, due
to the rains. A double whammy.

The short version: they (he & his kayaking buddies) were supposed to be
evacuated from the village they were staying in, but the water came up too
fast. They had to stay put with the flood rising to right outside their
door & "snapping trees like toothpicks" as he put it. :P
