I heard both authors returned to New Orleans - especially Anne Rice who lived in the French Quarter and suffered little damage from Katrina.

This is the ONLY answer I've received after posting a total of three questions that provided actual information. No one else takes anything I ask seriously. Yahoo may have intended this part of their property to be of use, but, with the exception of this post, it's worthless.

Dear Ones, I must share with you this heartbreaking description of what has happened and is happening in New Orleans. Please open your hearts as you read this report from an eye witness to the devastation. Love, Anne.

Finally, in late October, after nearly two anxious months sequestered amongst family and friends in the Northeast, we decided to drive down to New Orleans to reconnoiter the situation before fully moving back. My first slim, hopeful sight of the city, still insouciantly poised across Lake Ponchartrain, crashed when I saw, first, the swathes of brown and dying flora rimming the lake, where a bruised ecology had been gently reemerging; and second, the stunning necropolis of St. Bernard and New Orleans East as we passed these neighborhoods on the highway.
