If the New Orleans office is reopened, they intend to go back (not to Jefferson Parish, but to a lot in the country that they had already purchased and intended to build on). However, I believe their stay in Houston will extend greatly beyond the six months or so they now intend, mainly because I think it will take at least a year to find a contractor to even start on the house, given the demands on labor and materials. We may now be taking in his parents for a longer stay, as they finally made it to other relatives. (For future reference, it really sucks when the place that you evacuate TO to escape a natural disaster also loses power, water and phones for several days).

Well, I'm glad his job permitted him to transfer temporarily and keep working - that's an excellent bit of luck!
I was wondering how many people had evacuated to areas that also got pretty fucked; I'd imagine it was quite a lot. Hence my "out of city" evacuation sites - I've got alternatives lined up near Tarrytown, West Point, and the Canadian border.
