Parents (in their 70s) near Baton Rouge, LA....which was in the path of the storm, but a little over an hour (70 miles) inland.
Long story short, they've been without power and land line phone service since middle of the night on 8/31. No flooding for them (higher ground area away from creeks/bayous/etc.) Estimate of 1-3 WEEKS before power may be restored, no idea of when phone line will be restored. Cell phone service is barely usable, haven't gotten through at all save for a few SMSs. At least I know they are alright. They've been running their refrigerator & TV on a generator for 3 days now. Store stocks really low, same for gas. About all I've gotten from the SMSs....
