Sharks at the mall

This eyewitness report from Ken Perry just outside New Orleans came to me via my fiancee's brother. Sounds pretty horrendous:
"No gas stations working, no grocery stores or anything functioning. Lakeside Mall (at the NO end of the Causeway bridge ) has sharks in the parking lot. I-10 bridge to Slidell is badly damaged and only emergency vehicles are allowed to use it. They are not allowing anyone into Metairie until Sept 5th unless it's business. The city of Folsom is 'gone'."
