eye on franklin

In the Eye | 12:19 p.m. This morning, Alex Berenson, a New York Times correspondent, interviewed people in from Franklin, a Louisiana town in the path of the storm. Outside Franklin Foundation Hospital, people seemed calm, he said. One local, Barry Levet told him, “You’ll see us screaming and yelling if it get to 120 miles-per-hour, but in general people are not worried.” At a bar near by “they had beer flowing and everything,” he said. “That’s south Louisiana.”
