I spoke with Davis, Neil and Todd late this morning as they drove from Slidell (across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans on what was I-10) to Baton Rouge to meet the Davis’s parents. As Mike posted below, his folks were moved from the marina near New Orleans to a shelter in Baton Rouge and are safe. Davis’s brother arranged a flight from the Baton Rouge airport to his home in Pensacola. Unfortunately for Davis and the crew the flight left minutes before they made it to the airport, but they are safe. We’ll have live reports from the guys this afternoon on News 2 starting at 4:00 PM.
More mid-state damage from Katrina:
Most of us avoided serious damage as Katrina pushed through Tuesday morning, but there were several trees knocked down as 40 to 50 mph winds blew through the area. Sharon Prince of Huntland lost a very large tree in Franklin County.
Who knew?
August was a wet month at the Nashville International Airport where official records are kept. 6.89″ of rain fell this month, which is more than 200% of the normal value of 3.16″.
