"Not Much Left"

I have received an e-mail from my son; a slightly edited copy is below. The news is very good--and also very bad. I cannot yet express what I feel at learning of the loss of 509 Front Beach Drive, Ocean Springs, Mississippi, the wonderful old beach house (built in 1893) where I grew up--and where my soul forever resides...
Dad,

We got word from Rickie and Carol Davis. Sylvia and Reagan and I am assuming grandma are OK. They rode the storm out in Gulf Hills. We heard Reagan got to the beach house...not much left. We are here in Dallas waiting for word on when and if we can return. It looks like the Westbank [Algiers] was spared water. [It] looks like our condo [in New Orleans] has avoided water for now. We will keep you informed

Love, Joseph
