Can anyone with contacts in the area get to the Red Cross, FEMA, or go help themselves? Report: there is a potentially horrendous situation developing at the Carmelite Convent in Covington, Louisiana. They need immediate help from someone in the area. The sisters have taken in quite a few refugees, and they are running out of food. There is no food to buy, and the sisters themselves are sleeping in the cupboards to accommodate their guests. They are asking if there is anyone in the area who can bring them some food. Take Highway 55 through Jackson MS and get on I-12 at Hammond which will take you into Covington. Take the exit at Covington Point off of 1-12. This is a subdivision just below the Carmel. Both ends of River Road are blocked. The Sisters report that situation is dangerous gangs with guns are stopping medical trucks and taking supplies and drugs.
