More for watching Mercy Shippers--
Nothing yet from Caribbean Mercy caretakers Tom, Kathy, and Maria Elena, who were fleeing to Georgia ahead of the storm. Anyone?
Two photos from Gulfport this morning (credit: al.com), where the Caribbean Mercy docked for PR in 2003 and 2004. Remember that Dairy Queen?

(credit: al.com)In New Orleans, AP says the one-story homes south of Lake Ponchartrain are flooded to the rooflines, and two of Jackson Park's huge famous oak trees near the cathedral are down. But the city's worst fears seem to have been avoided - no major flooding is reported in the historic parts of the city, and most of the levees are apparently still holding. The Superdome is damaged and leaking with eight or nine thousand refugees now inside, but the hurricane-force winds have mostly passed the city.
No word, however, on how high the all-important storm surge was in Mobile, where the Caribbean Mercy is riding it out. Or on whether anyone's gotten around yet to getting that barge out of the middle of the park.
