Meet: Ranada Billiot of Houma, Louisiana

HOUMA, Louisiana – Ranada Billiot lives in a mandatory evacuation area in Houma, Louisiana.

She is a mom to two kids, ages six and 13, and they plan to ride out Hurricane Ida together in their house.

Meet Michelle Pitre of Houma

Michelle Pitre was spending Saturday afternoon with her two kids at a playground in the Houma marina. Her kids are two- and four-year-old.

“We are staying. If we would leave it would be last minute,” said she. “Hunker down. De safe. Have enough food and water.”

Pitre said she has stayed for every other storm. Her mother has a brick home and has been fine.
