God bless you for all you have done to give comfort to so many in your home. Have you heard data on the number of displaced currently sheltered in Baton Rouge?
The Houston newspaper listed a man who has taken 50 people into his home and is wanting to bring in more.
All official shelters are full, we still have churches taking people and I don't know how many are in churches and individual homes. The stores are bare and gas is rare as we have so many more people here. The traffic on the roads is worse than ever. Schools will open Tuesday with no bus service. Several are registering. I think Ascension Parish has had 742 students added, don't know how many in other parishes.
excerpt from the paper:
In Baton Rouge, La., officials feared that the city would burst at the seams, as more people arrived at shelters already filled beyond capacity. City officials said more than 40,000 people were in American Red Cross or private shelters. The population of East Baton Rouge Parish could rise from 415,000 to more than 600,000, and possibly even double, officials said.
