Are you talking about the Florida Everglades? They shouldn't have been damaged by Katrina. It was only a cat 1 when it went over Florida.

If it's the roads you're worried about they just reopened one of the spans of I-10 over the Pontchatrain last week and are just using it as a 2 lane road. If not I-10, then I-20 is absolutely fine.

Anyway, Cafe du Monde reopened on Friday and that is definitely a sign that NO is getting up and running.

Looks like Katrina caused a lot of damage to the flamingo area. It is open only for day use.

You won't have any problems in California at Thanksgiving. I5 closes quite often (relatively) over the Grapevine, almost never for more than a few hours.
