OEP: Stay home tonight

Calcasieu Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness Director Dick Gremillion told the American Press this afternoon that his office is encouraging area residents to stay off the roads tonight as Humberto makes landfall.

“About the only thing we can tell people is when you get home, secure yourself as well as you can and just stay home,” Gremillion said. “Stay off the roads. There’s going to be a lot of high water, high wind potentially.”
