Allison is in full effect in Baton Rouge. They even closed down I-10 from Siegen Exit to Highland, which is the interstate to New Orleans last night. But, it's reopened now. LSU and SU are closed. The malls are closed. Several stores are taking cash only because credit cards can't be used with no phone service. The governor has declared a state of emergency. Shelters are open too. Several of our state rivers are very near cresting level. We've had one casuality. Sandbags are everywhere. I had to park my car two miles from home yesterday and wade in knee-deep water to get home. If you have family in South LA, call them (if there phones are on), tell them you love them and keep us, all in your prayers. Allison is expected to be here all weekend.
