The New Orleans Times-Picayune is keeping their community forums running, and reading these comments evokes the same feelings I had when, several months after 9-11, I saw the flyers posted on kiosks after the WTC collapse on display in Grand Central Station.
These messages were posted on the Plaquemines/St. Bernard forum:

Hi Shane and Chrissy,Please ask Felix or Joel to contact Kimberly,
Derek's sister or Keith's daughter Mandy at 985-285-2696 or
985-640-5362. The last we heard about Keith, Sandra, and his brother
and friends, were that they were stuck on Gorbity Apt roof due to
flooding,, and unable to be rescued due to high winds. We heard some
people from Chalmette were evacuated to BR where we are. His daughter,
Elyse, went to 7 shelters today trying to find them, with no luck. She
and Sandra's daughter will be searching the shelters again on Friday.
Please contact us or have Felix contact us if he hears anything else.
We so very much appreciate it and so glad all of you are safe. With
much appreciation, Kimberly
