Katrina Aftermath - Avondale

Apparently, people have returned to Avondale to find downed trees and minor roof damage, but no flooding. People are reporting that the phones work and they have running water/sewerage. However, another report indicates that water and sewage systems are not working (possibly localized problems?). Nevertheless, based on available reports, Avondale appears to have escaped any major damage. So far, no reports of looting.
