News from northern parts of Texas and Louisiana

MARSHALL, Texas -- Hurricane Rita evacuees from Southwest Louisiana were broken hearted Sunday after reports that parish and municipal officials recommend that nobody head back south for a period of 7-10 days.

At motels and hotels where Calcasieu Parish residents are staying, the feeling is that southwest Louisiana officials are being overly cautious.

Some people are running out of money and need assistance. Information has floated around that FEMA will help but information on how to contact the agency is scarce.

I've been able to share information with some Lake Charles evacuees on how they can contact FEMA on the phone and online.
