Jefferson Parish -- return info, martial law

#1 Postby Recurve » Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:13 pm

Reported on WWL at 1:13 CDT.
Jefferson Parish president says:
Martial law declared.
Residents only with ID will be allowed back in one week only to gather essentials and then must leave again. Will not be allowed to return for one month.

Airline highway is under water. I-10 closed at Gramercy (?).

Agree.

Additional info: Monday is the day for residents to return for essentials. You must have ID to return. [That would be Sept. 5, Labor Day monday.]

I'm sure a lot depends on the flooding being brought under control.
