I just plugged into my map software. 351 miles. Pretty long haul. Isn't there anything closer? Would Baton Rouge have any facilities?
Not sure...maybe every thing there is packed from the first evac. I guess they want the dome in Houston because of mass capacity.
yes, but no. LSU and Southern La are just 70 miles away. they may have already been using those facilities and both would not be able to handle the 35K-45K people expected. Lafayette (LLU) could not handle those large numbers either.
