160,000 houses - yikes. Looks like you'll be ok and I hope it continues to work out for you - I'm sure it won't for some.

Oh yes, I know how lucky I am. I have a job and the financial resources so that we can weather this. Many folks no longer have jobs or the financial ability to recover anytime soon. I know that I'm better off after Katrina than 90%+ of the folks from New Orleans.

Yes, the Superdome will likely come down. Had not heard the 350,000 figure, but given that the population of Orleans Parish (which is New Orleans) is only around 450,000, the 350,000 house figure likely includes all of the Gulf Coast, not just New Orleans. Either way, not pretty. But my 545 is sitting high and dry here in Houston! It's the small things that keep you going.

If you go to Advantage BMW in Downtown, ask for Honza in service. He seems to know things around there.
