Tropical Storm Bill Comes Through New Orleans

The last day of June brought Tropical Storm Bill to New Orleans.  As many may know, the storm dumped 5-10 inches of rain in New Orleans.  The seminary campus received around 5 inches.  Streets were flooded, some branches came down.  Power was lost by the entire campus for a least a few hours, with some out of power for more than twenty-four hours.  Offices were closed and classes were canceled for Monday afternoon and evening.  Clean up is in process.  The campus weathered Bill fairly well.
