[This was a pre-wordpress weblog post. During the events of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there was a brief window when Fats Domino was feared lost. He turned out to be safe and sound. Here is the relevant wikipedia section. The original yahoo news story I linked to is defunct.]

This is an utter tragedy. There are very, very few celebrities I would be as loathe to lose as Fats Domino. I can only hope that they find him.
