There are lots of very scary rumors, but what I have actually seen about Slidell so far via a video from a WGNO reporter 10 minutes ago on WBRZ here in baton rouge:
vieable from i-12: many homes without roofs, bowling usa wall collapsed, mall like a lake, many trees down, covering i12
from gause: roof of days inn ripped off, telephone poles down.. cables everywhere, lots of trees down covering gause, not much flooding in that section of gause (within 1 mile of i10 exit), racetrac gas station destroyed, some trees had smashed through some cars... that was as far as she could get into. The town is mostly impassable still.
now from the web rumor mill: flooding in old towne, "total devastation" - city officials, pontchartrain like a river.. very much still developing.
We spoke to a friend in Slidell who said it looks like a river running down Ponchatrain. Roof tops are torn off and it looks like most buildings are destroyed. They are unable to go toward Gause Blvd. because of down power lines.
