She is from Breaux Bridge La. but currently lives in LA Calif. I don't know how far her hometown is from the hurricane damage. I haven't heard it mentioned on the news, so I assume everything is alright there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> B.B. is about 150 miles west of n.o. I live 2 miles from her mom's house. There was practically no damage from Katrina, BUT Rita caused alot more damage here. B.B. was out of electricity for 2 days, but I never lost power.
