Gustav Evacuees Leave Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (kccu-fm) - Officials at a temporary shelter in Oklahoma City say about 1,000 Hurricane Gustav evacuees will soon begin boarding buses to return to their homes in Louisiana.

Police Sgt. Paco Balderrama says some buses will be leaving Thursday from the shelter at the old Lucent Technologies plant in western Oklahoma City. He says emergency officials are preparing lists of people from Louisiana parishes that have been opened for people to return to their homes.

He says some people from parishes that remain closed will have to stay at the shelter a while longer.

About 1,700 evacuees have stayed at the shelter since arriving late Sunday and early Monday by bus. © Copyright 2009, kccu-fm
