It was on the 10 p.m. newscasts that same night when the turn towards New Orleans was first broadcast. Living in Baton Rouge and not watching the news that night ... I didn't hear about it until the following morning. My wife and two-year-old daughter were visiting family in Gretna and she didn't have a car to drive back (I forget ... I think my in-laws picked them up earlier in the week or something). Anyway ... I remember high-tailing it to Gretna Saturday morning and high-tailing it back to B.R. to beat all the evacuees.
