Woodlawn Coaches Corner Week 1: University Lab

Last week Hurricane Ida came through South Louisiana causing damage all over the states coast. The people of Louisiana have grown used to rebuilding and restarting after hurricanes but this specific hurricane categorized as the largest hurricane to hit the state in over 50 years. Ida left many parts of the southern Louisiana without electricity, water, gas, food and many other essentials to everyday life. The schools and businesses were shut down as were many of the roads and highways used to get to these places. Some residents of South Louisiana won’t have electricity or running water until next month. On the bright side of Hurricane Ida was that Baton Rouge didn’t sustain as much damage as many other areas in South Louisiana, but hurricane Ida did cause schools and high school football games across south Baton Rouge to be cancelled last week due to the storm.
