i'm from lafayette, La and i can tell you that they have filled up all available space in Baton Rouge, and Lafayette before sending them onto texas. the reporters are reporting that info. i'm not saying that my home state was totatlly prepared for this terrible disaster, i'm just saying that there are a lot of evacuees still in louisiana. that's how many people are affected by this...it's overwhelming. i'm glad that texas stepped up the to plate to help out.
