ENGLAND AIR BASE, LOUISIANA — Hurricane Gustav has left many people and businesses without electricity, even days after its Category 5 winds blew through Louisiana. Several gas stations are either without gasoline or without the needed electricity to pump it out of the ground.
The 294th is moving towards Baton Rouge today. We will set up a staging area north of the most damaged area. As the convoy moves in that direction, it is still not clear if the unit will immediately join the recovery effort or start fresh tomorrow.
