They got the smell of chlorine in the air and we have the smell of smoke in the air. At least theirs smells clean!!!

I hope everyone is OK.

Thanks for being concerned. The leak was close to I-10 and bre & i are more in the southwestern area of the parish. It didn't affect us at all. It didn't cause any delays in the high school graduations at the cajundome or the ul baseball game though probably about 2 miles away or so they were evacuated.

I've been thinking about y'all in Lafayette since I saw the story in the news last night but haven't been able to get on here. Our littlest has strep and is so miserable. Glad y'all are okay and hope they get that mess cleaned up soon!

I instantly thought of Cajunmama & Bre as well. I'm glad that you weren't affected by this.
