Patience is thinning
Friday, September 5, 2008

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The 1,500 hurricane evacuees being sheltered in Louisville are still awaiting word on when they can return home to New Orleans. They arrived at the Kentucky Expo Center last weekend as Gustav approached the Gulf Coast.

There is no official word from FEMA on when planes will begin taking the evacuees back home. The flights are expected to happen within the next few days.

Many evacuees we spoke with were thankful of the accomodations at the Expo Center. But they are tired and want to go home to Louisiana.
