Update: I had very little damage to the home in New Orleans. Both neighbors on the sides of me flooded, but I was saved by about an inch. I am now employed by the wealthy friend I mentioned above in Baton Rouge. The new home is bigger than I need, but it is great and well within budget. I went to the fishing camp and it is pretty depressing. I need to knock it down and invest in a double wide. Here is a pic. We had water up to the ceilings. The whole place is knocked off of its raised foundation and crumbling.
