Local news

Heavy rain and isolated tornadoes continue to affect the area. We've had curfew each night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will be under a curfew again tonight. Meanwhile, utilities crews have restored 75-80 percent of power in Lafayette.

President Bush arrived in Baton Rouge (1 hour from here) this morning to survey the damage done by Hurricane Gustav and meet with Governor Bobby Jindal.

Meanwhile, the search in on for supplies in Lafayette. Residents swamped stores that were open Tuesday. Customers searched for necessities. Crowds were huge as people looked for generators, food and ice.

We're still fine, still have power, have the supplies we need, are working remotely, and have high hopes that I'll fly out tomorrow after work and before Hanna gets to Atlanta, where I'm scheduled to fly through.
