Here's the faculty news that I know:
Chris Cotropia, Dawn-Marie and Claire (and cats) are safe in Texas
Jonathan Nash is in New York
Rafael Pardo is in Montana
Onnig Dombalagian was in Houston and is headed for DC
Enviro. Listservers report Oliver Houck and Lisa rode out the storm. No word on their current whereabouts.
Second-hand hearsay (from another faculty member) that Felice Batlan is safe.
Please keep comments coming and I'll keep posting them.
My family and I are in Atlanta. We are staying with the family of a college classmate of mine who is a high level medical fficial of the CDC. He has been mobilized to go to New Orleans to help coordinate medical matters there.
Best to everyone. Stay safe.

I'm looking for news of David Snyder. Does anyone know how and where David is faring?

My family and I are safely ensconced in my sister's home in Fox Chapel, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The kids have enrolled in the local public school. I hear that uptown where we live is dry and no apparent looting, but lots of fallen trees. Hope one did not hit our home. Joel Friedman

Kavita and I still haven't heard about Jancy Hoeffel and her family?
And I'm also wondering about Sheila Myers? Pam, do you know if Sheila got out okay??
Thanks for this blog, it has been incredibly helpful.

Tammy,
I am David Snyder's sister. He and his family are fine and are currently in Massachusetts with his wife's family. He does not have good access to the internet, but I will be sure to tell him about your posting. I'm sure he appreciates your concern.
If anyone has questions about David, please feel free to contact me at csnyder@jhsph.edu.
With best wishes to all of the Tulane community.
