There is a mardi gras parade called the Krewe of Arabi...and it starts in Arabi!
The fox news channel just showed a reporter standing in the catholic school yard in Bayou La Batre al. It was blowing 75 mph w/guststo 95 mph.I was talking to my Brother about 2 mls from there and he said it was blowing as hard as Frederick. I attended grade school in th 40 and 50's at that Cathlic school.
