Lafayette Channel 10 KLFY-TV has just reported hotel overbookings at the Best Value Inn. Due to damage to the chain's main computer system in Florida, the Best Value -- which only has 300 rooms -- was allowed to accept 10,000 reservations. The parking lot is full of angry guests who have confirmed reservations and no rooms. KLFY reports that it is STILL possible to book a room at the Best Value via priceline.com and other sites because the glitch hasn't been fixed yet. What a catastrophe!!

they can still outdrive the storm's path and park somewhere

those poor folks stuck in cars on I-10 or US 90 in the lower parishes are in trouble

they'd better head for schools and libraries and courthouses...heavy buildings

There are days when I am really glad that I don't hold certain jobs. Today would be one of them. Those people are going to need a bonus when this is finished.
