I think we easily have 20,000 more people in Lafayette. Between those staying in Lafayette with families... living at the Cajundome or at apartments and other shelters.

Here in Baton Rouge, the enrollment at my son's elementary school went from around 230 to over 300. Some new students had started as early as Thursday, though most will start on Tuesday.
