From the Art Newspaper

We never did get to New Orleans and so sad to see it destroyed again. I really feel for all the people affected and what they're going through with the aftermath.  And all the other places that were afftected by this terrible storm.

 

But I don't think you can keep this place down.  I thought this was an interesting link with more information on the Karnofsky Store.

With rescue crews now combing southeast Louisiana to help residents caught in the flooding and assess the damage caused by Hurricane Ida, which made landfall near Port Fourchon on Sunday morning, one early historical casualty has already been identified. The Karnofsky Store, a Jewish family’s former tailor shop and residence in New Orleans that served as a second home for jazz legend Louis Armstrong and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, completely collapsed when the category four storm swept across the city.
