Mandy holed up on Dumaine with a house full of kids and neighbors who came after the flooding started. One of the boys gathered food as needed from "area resources." A large boat came yesterday and picked up the lot of them. They passed dead floating bodies on the way to an elevated highway on ramp, where they were let out and left for four hours. Transport came, took them to now vacant Superdome, helicopter took them to airport. Once in the air they were told they were going to Phoenix. She is with only two of her original crew. She will make her way to Oregon to stay with best friend and will start the process of healing. I have informed the friend of unlimited resources available but it will be awhile before Mandy will be able to figure out what she needs, I'm sure.
