Another quick roundup for you Mercy Ships and Caribbean Mercy crew watching from around the world...
  • WLOX-Gulfport has stopped reporting on the storm because they are now under a foot of water.
From WKRG-Mobile:
  • Royal, Water, and Canal Streets are flooded, and the water is moving west up Government Street
  • Shelters are open in Mobile, Daphne, Fairhope, and Chickasaw
  • The Mobile River is now flowing completely around the Mobile convention center, over the railroad tracks
  • There appears to be a barge grounded between the trees in Riverside Park (between the convention center and the cruise terminal).
Not much news from New Orleans right now, but at least one levee has been breached, and part of the roof of the Superdome (where 6000+ residents are huddled) has reportedly been blown off.
