Can you live in a powerless house with holes in the roof? Feed 1,000 people a day? March in the rain to City Hall?
| By Drew Broach | Deputy metro editor COVERAGE QUESTIONED: After a hurricane ripped holes in his roof, letting in rain that saturated the Sheetrock, and knocked out power and drinking water for weeks, John Ieyoub asked his insurance company to cover the cost of a rental property for his family. But the adjuster assigned to his case denied the claim, concluding the the home was livable. What's the criteria for determining whether a home is uninhabitable? Insurance companies won't say. FEEDING THE MULTITUDES: Milton Naquin would otherwise be running his shrimp boat out of Delcambre with white shrimp season in full swing. But instead he and his family and a crew from his Jessica Gail Seafood company rolled into Montegut last week with a long, covered trailer rigged up to cook huge batches of jambalaya and alligator sauce piquant. In a Terrebonne Parish town crippled by Hurricane Ida, they served about 1,000 meals a day. PUTRID PROTEST: Saturday's "trash parade" was typical New Orleans: colorful, satirical, almost spontaneous and carried out in the rain. And there was glitter, of course. You'll find these stories and more in the Front Page and on NOLA.com. Thanks for starting your day with us. D.B. |
