To all concerned:
I evacuated Sunday night to escape the destruction of the hurricane. I stayed in Jackson, MS for three nights until the power and water situation became uncomfortable. I will be in Lebanon, MO until further notice. I have been in touch with my mother and sisters. My father and grandparents are stuck in New Orleans. I think they are safe. I can best be reached by email (trey@dephex.org) or by phone (417) 532-6585. If you decide to text message me, include your name (my phone doesn't tell me who the message is coming from) and a line where I can contact you.
My long term plans include getting back into New Orleans as soon as possible to try to rescue my pets, which I left at my apartment. After that I will be looking for employment in the computer industry, either in New York or San Francisco.
