I just saw this message about Terry Young on LM_Net and thought I'd share it with the CCBC folks. Sara Kelly Johns posted it yesterday, and I'm relieved to hear he's left New Orleans.
>From Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns at YAHOO.COM> on Tue, 30 Aug 2005:
Well, Terry won't be in New Orleans very long...he's heading to his sister's in Baton Rouge tomorrow. I just got off the phone with him and he wanted me to post to all his LM_NET friends that his place is dry and secure for now but that the infrastructure of New Orleans is disintegrating rapidly and he is getting out while he can. Looting, the point-blank shooting of a policeman, prisoners in chains on the interstate because of flooded prisons, high heat with air conditioners and fans useless--the quality of life there is too low, martial law seems like a drastic step but is crucial.
Terry has no water or power and estimates are that it could easily be two months before utilities are restored. There may be a mandatory evacuation, but he is not waiting for that to leave! The French Quarter where he lives is the highest point in the city, but with the breaking of the second levee, that could not matter soon. He is putting art work up high, sandbagging the doors and leaving tomorrow with his CPU in tow and a few valuables. Terry considers the rest just material things that can be replaced. He knows that there are so many people that are so much worse off than he is--and that people count most. And he has no idea when his school will be reopened. Parts of Interstate 10 across Lake Pontchartrain (spelling?) are missing.

Sigh, Sara Kelly Johns
