They haven't seen anything yet... Mostly likely I-49 will remain open for some time and this would be the best route to evacuate Lafayette and Breaux Bridge areas. The Aexandria coliseum and most large schools in North and Central Louisiana are open to accept evacuees...

There's still time to evacuate but window will close soon...
