From a mail list I belong to:

The Java Grotto coffeehouse has been a rare spot on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville, Louisiana, friendly to touring folksingers. The flood this week apparently destroyed the business, and a dramatic photo of co-owner/manager Kaia Kusiw in the floodwaters went out yesterday on the AP newswire.

Good Grief!! (When you said LA I thought Los Angeles and wondered about a "flood" when they are fighting fires.....)

Tropical Storm Hanna, that hit South Alabama two weeks ago, took the roof off of a marina restaurant that has been a regular venue for area musicians for years. A bunch of us pickers from Northwest Florida and Southeast Alabama are getting together Saturday night to do a benefit to help them raise money for repairs. The only good thing about hurricanes is the way people pull together to help each other out in the aftermath.
