Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita Status
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of the victims and the recovery efforts.
Below you will see the "status" of the Louisiana B&Bs that we have heard from. As we contact and hear from more B&Bs in the affected area we will post their "status".
Several B&Bs in New Orleans have re-opened! Most of the B&Bs in New Orleans are located in either the French Quarter or Garden District which are on higher ground than the rest of the city. Because they are built on higher ground they received little or no flooding after the levees broke.
Now that public utility services (water, electricity, gas, etc.) are being restored these B&Bs are again welcoming guests to the Big Easy.

Starting in October, we hope to be back to normal. We in Louisiana are so grateful for the outpouring of support and help from our fellow innkeepers and from our former guests from around the world.

at La Place 'd Evangeline - Saint Martinville "Lafayette area", Louisiana
We at the Old Castillo Bed and Breakfast wanted everyone to know that our B&B, as well as the surrounding community of St. Martinville / Lafayette, LA made it thru Hurricane Katrina OK. We are still open for business and are currently housing families from the disaster. Rooms are scarce, but are still available, and we anticipate they will become more available over the coming weeks.

Elysian Fields Inn - New Orleans, Louisiana
As many of you know we were waiting for our natural gas service to be restored so that we could open the Inn. We now have our natural gas service and the Inn will reopen for business Monday, November 7, 2005. We are so happy to be able to open and once again share the city we love with the Nation and the World.
We are still busy here repairing damage from the storm. Thankfully most of the damage was confined to the outside of the Inn.
I am increasingly angry with the medias reporting on the situation here. Yes, there is terrible destruction from the pan-handle of Florida to the Texas coast but the rebuilding is going forward with great strides and the areas in New Orleans that are most visited by our out of town guest have not been destroyed. The famous restaurants and clubs are either open for business or getting ready to shortly. Check out WWOZs updated club list http://www.wwoz.org/clubs.php and famous restaurant critic Tom Fitzmorris site for an up-to-the -minute list of open restaurants http://www.nomenu.com/RestaurantsOpen.html.

G.W. Nesom House Bed & Breakfast - Tickfaw "Hammond area", Louisiana
The G.W. Nesom House sustained roof damage and we lost some of our fruit and pecan trees, but thank goodness none fell on the house. We did not have power for a week, very little fresh water or water pressure, we were running out of food and what little ice we could find melted rather quickly in the heat index of 100-110 degrees. Gasoline became almost non-existant. We were the lucky ones! My heart truly goes out to those of us that were not so fortunate. We have done what we could to share shelter, food and water with all we could, but there are so many! (9/7/05)
