Lapont Guest House, Lacombe, Louisiana
The Lapont Guest House had seven feet of water, lost only one tree, and the boathouse is sinking in the middle. The entire house will have to be gutted and rebuilt. We are unsure of the time factor in these repairs. (9/21/2005)

Mildred Fishe Guest Cabin, Lacombe, Louisiana
The Mildred Fishe Guest Cabin sustained wind and flood damage beyond repair. Walls ripped off, some trees down, pump house and A/C gone, inside walls completely demolished and the boat house is missing some of its support. We will have to eventually have it bulldozed and then we have no idea for rebuilding plans at this time. (9/21/05)

1830 Dauphine House Bed & Breakfast, New Orleans, Louisiana
I am one of the lucky ones! I evacuated early, but a friend who stayed behind has checked on the B&B and says that it suffered NO flooding! Not from the hurricane or the levee break! (My place is about a block outside the French Quarter.) I guess my gutters blew off, but that is it. Not sure when I will return - it depends on how fast the cleanup goes.

We are alive and well in Austin Texas. There are a lot of people from New Orleans, that need your prayers.

G.W. Nesom House Bed & Breakfast, Tickfaw "Hammond area", Louisiana
The G.W. Nesom House sustained roof damage and we lost some of our fruit and pecan trees, but thank goodness none fell on the house. We did not have power for a week, very little fresh water or water pressure, we were running out of food and what little ice we could find melted rather quickly in the heat index of 100-110 degrees. Gasoline became almost non-existant. We were the lucky ones! My heart truly goes out to those of us that were not so fortunate. We have done what we could to share shelter, food and water with all we could, but there are so many! (9/7/05)

Oakdale Farms Bed and Boarding Stables, Brandon "Jackson area", Mississippi
One month ago, the unthinkable occurred. Hurricane Katrina blew through both Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana with all her strength and might. We all know it took out basically the whole Gulf Coast area of both Mississippi and much of Louisiana, but it also managed to find its way up here as far as the Jackson, MS area. We were all without power MANY days, trying to house many displaced people, some having horses and the rest horseless lost souls, searching for a dry, comfortable place to call "Home" if only for a few days.
Even with no power and scorching high temperatures during that week, everyone "got along" amazingly well, pitched in and helped each other, and basically made the best of a bad situation. Sometimes God has a way of telling us that everything will be all right, we just need to remember "Him" when our troubles are too much to bear!
Anyway, Oakdale Farms is now up and running at full speed. We have one room we are not renting out long term, so if anyone needs a short term stay, please call upon us here. (10/1/2005)

Moss Point Oaks Bed & Breakfast, Moss Point "Pascagoula area", Mississippi
Moss Point Oaks is fine. We are sheltering 2 homeless families in our rooms upstairs, and running "relief central" downstairs for crews coming in to help put the coast back together. We do not have bedrooms downstairs. We have moved out the furniture, borrowed air mattresses and sleeping bags from neighbors, and are offering a place to sleep, shower and eat to work crews willing to sleep on the floor. We just said goodbye this morning to 2 crews. We had a disaster relief crew from Isle of Palms, SC who helped our city until the National Guard arrived to take over, and we had a relief group from a church in Flowery Branch, GA who came down with food, water, meds, etc and went into Gulfport and Biloxi each day assisting and distributing food. They were the advance scouting party for some 80 volunteers due to return on Monday. We have been greatly blessed and just want to be a blessing to others here. (9/7/05)
