Mayor gets an earful from evacuees
Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover got an earful today from evacuees at one of the shelters in Shreveport.
The evacuees are being housed at a state-sponsored shelter at the old Sam’s Club store on Jewella Avenue. The state leases buildings that can serve as evacuee shelters.
Evacuees crowded around the mayor outside the shelter to complain. Among their grievances were that there were inadequate shower facilities.
Glover said he would fix things. He also sent crews to install a shower at the old Sports Mall on the west side of the city, where they were complaints about the air conditioning and the toilets.

News report said that complaints were also :
“Nothing To Do.”
“Uncomfortable.”
You guessed It!!!
Same Krew From NOLA!!!

I am flying into Miami and then off to Brazil from there on the 12th, hopefully Ike will be moved on by then, but it looks like it may be slowin down. I pray it misses or turns and goes North soon.
