I just had a call from my sister in Cecelia, La. She tells me that tomorrow the state troopers will be allowing a contra for people to get on the freeway which is gridlocked. She is only trying to travel twenty miles into Lafayette to stay with our brother, who has no trees in his yard. And if necessary, they will have access to the Cajundome. She is lucky to have a tankful of gas as there is no more to be had in that area.
As an aside note. She told me that folks there were enraged with Nagin, dem mayor of NO. He was at the dem convention when Bobby Jindal, governor of La, called him and ordered him home. Nagin had a fit saying it was too early to prepare and Jindal threatened him with malfeason if he stayed. He left. giggle
