Baton Rouge live TV stream; 'Fats' Domino missing; Live webcam stream from Poydras St., New Orleans

2:00 p.m.
Linked at the Baton Rouge Advocate news site, WGNO and WBRZ in Baton Rouge have joined forces with a live broadcast stream.

They interviewed the driver of a bus on its way to Houston, and were told afterwards by police that he had stolen the bus. While not condoning bus theft, the anchors noted that he had gotten people out of harm's way.

Buses are being routed to San Antonio now, since Houston is expected to be full. San Antonio Emergency Management official says they're prepared to take in 20,000 to 25,000 people at Kelly Air Force base.


12:29 p.m.
Missing musicians:
Fox News's Roger Friedman reports that "Antoine 'Fats' Domino, has not been heard from since Monday afternoon....Domino, 76, lives with his wife Rosemary and daughter in a three-story pink-roofed house in New Orleans' 9th ward, which is now under water."

Also missing: Irma Thomas. (Real Audio clip from Time is on My Side)

Friedman adds that Allen Toussaint was "holed up at the New Orleans Superdome hoping to get on a bus for Houston’s Astrodome."

10:09 a.m.
Streaming webcam:
Interdictor is in the DirectNIC data center on the 10th floor of 650 Poydras St. (map) in New Orleans, near Lafayette Square. (Orientation: The French Quarter is at the top of the map, on the other side of Canal Street.)

Besides ongoing reports (including those from a policeman he's giving shelter to), he's been able to keep a live webcam feed going.

This is a live video stream. Watching it for a few minutes, I've seen a few people walking, a few motorcyles and a few cars on the otherwise deserted streets.
