Here's a group of local Louisiana journalists who stayed in the state for Hurricane Ida to provide coverage on the ground during and after the storm. (I am also here in Baton Rouge for the storm.)
And hey Louisiana journalists...If I missed you...please let me know if you want to be added to the list and I'll put you in the thread! #lawx#ida#hurricaneida

Well this day is going great. My car battery died TODAY.
Nevertheless, now I'm at @LouisianaGov's press conference about Hurricane Ida.
.@LouisianaGov says there are significant storm surge impacts around Port Fourchon and in Plaquemines Parish. #lalege#lagov
.@LouisianaGov repeatedly says that no one should be out on the roads or out of their house during the storm and in the immediate aftermath of the storm. #lalege#lagov
.@LouisianaGov is starting his press conference on Hurricane Ida (and COVID...and whatever other disaster we are currently having.) #lalege#lagov
Today is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Laura and Louisiana is facing another CATEGORY 4 hurricane. #lalege#lagov
Hurricane Ida is supposed to make landfall between St. Mary's and Terrebonne parishes. @LouisianaGov says people need to be where they are going to be for the storm by nightfall tomorrow night. #lalege#lagov
Some of the individuals schools in the UL system shared their student body COVID-19 vaccination rates. (The % of students who have had at least one shot.) Some of this info is based on self-reporting from students. From @JC_Canicosalailluminator.com/2021/08/27/two…#lalege#laed
Here the COVID-19 vaccination rates (at least one shot) of UL system school student bodies that were shared with us. (Some of it is based on self-reported surveys.)
Grambling (40%)
Nicholls (50%)
Southeastern (47%)
UL Monroe (68%)
UNO (58%) #lalege
FWIW: Some women lawmakers told me that they may see more urgency to fire someone at LSU than @LouisianaGov because they are receiving lots of messages from students/former students who haven't gone public about their bad experiences with certain LSU officials. #lalege
When I asked @LouisianaGov why he and the women lawmakers had different opinions on whether more people should be fired at LSU, he essentially said the women lawmakers should name the people they want fired publicly. #lalege
.@LouisianaGov is right. The women lawmakers have called for more people to be fired at LSU over this scandal, but they haven't used specific names publicly
Three people come up over and over again in private conversations though: Ausberry, Segar and Jonathan Sanders. #lalege
