I have just seen from their website, that the museum suffered no serious damage or flooding. Although it is perhaps a little 'selfish' when so many people have lost their lives, homes and livelihood, nevertheless it is a positive story following the terrible aftermath of 'Katrina'.

I was somewhat worried about the museum. Though I wasn't worried about someone looting a Sherman, I was worried about the firearms, not because they are potent automatic weapons (I am sure that have at least the firing pins removed, if not more), but as monetarily and historically valuable artifacts. I am glad that at least some history down there has been preserved.

Thanks Jim for the find.
