Quote From: red419I have a total of 10 relatives that lived in Violet, Louisiana and Chalmette, which are both in St Bernard's Parish. They are all evacuated and safe. The first day after the hurricane, the news reports noted that their area had been particularly hard hit. After New Orleans flooded, there was no more mention. My family needs information about the area in order to make decisions about going on with their lives. How can we find this out? Or, if you have any information, please pass it on.
Thank you so much.
I read that the parish was cut off from aid because of it's geographic location for about 5 days. That's also the parish that sustained the huge oil leak (200,000 gallons of oil from a heavy crude tank) and, sadly, it's the parish where the group of people were found tied together and drowned.
I think this article http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/12595149.htm should give your family some of the information they're looking for.
My warmest wishes are with you and your family members.
