Residents Begin Slow Return to New Orleans Following Gustav

HeadlineSep 03, 2008

New Orleans residents have begun to return home following the massive evacuation from Hurricane Gustav. Tens of thousands of homes are without power, and a nighttime curfew remains in effect. On Tuesday, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said the city is still vulnerable despite avoiding the worst of the feared flooding.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal: “I want to emphasize again to people out there that, yes, it’s good news we didn’t have the levee breaches or the major flooding, but we have huge challenges caused by Hurricane Gustav.”
