We just.spoke with our first rep on the ground in New O~leans who did a h~!~ tour and
describes a 200 yard coliapse of the ~evy on the south side of the lake which is
accou!iting for much of the additional f!ooding. While Significant, this was the only

positive feedback f~om all the~#,[.g~Oups and we await your.direction on the damage

I~ addition to the above, we reached odt to.the Business..Roi~dtable
