WELL, BLACK ICE IS ALSO A CONCERN ON THE NORTH SHORE AS TEMPERATURES DIP, THE WATER WILL FREEZE, MAKING ROADS DANGEROUS. THATS RIGHT. WANDA JONES IS IN HAMMOND. SHES BEEN TALKING TO OFFICIALS AND PEOPLE UP THERE. WHATS THE MESSAGE, WANDA, FROM LEADERS GOING INTO THE NIGHT, AS WE EXPECT DIPPING TEMPERATURES. WELL, THE MESSAGE HAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN THE SAME ACROSS THE BOARD FROM LOCAL AND STATE LEADERS AND USUALLY WHEN THE HIGHEST PUBLIC OFFICIAL IN THE STATE WARNS YOU TO STAY AT HOME DUE TO BLACK ICE, YOU TEND TO LISTEN TO THEM. BUT SOME PEOPLE HERE IN HAMMOND, THEY HEARD A DIFFERENT MESSAGE WHEN THE GOVERNOR SAYS, STAY HOME. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THAT MEANS MAKE A COCKTAIL. YOU KNOW, SO I THINK THATS WHAT EVERYBODYS GOT ON THEIR MIND. AND YOU GIVE PEOPLE IN LOUISIANA ANY EXCUSE TO GO GET A COCKTAIL. THEYRE GOING TO COME DO IT. SOME BARS IN DOWNTOWN HAMMOND OPENED UP, BUT JUST FOR WALKERS. WE JUST OPENED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST IN WALKING DISTANCE. IF YOU ARE NOT CLOSE BY, I RECOMMEND DONT WALK BECAUSE WE DID SEE A FEW ACCIDENTS HERE AND THERE, PEOPLE TRYING TO DRIVE AND WE GET IT. WE ALL WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, BUT THATS NOT THE REASON WHY WE OPENED UP JUST FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
