“Credit union employees and their families across the state aresimply sheltered in place riding this one out,” Major said from herBaton Rouge home “where the lights are still on.”
|If there had been major catastrophes as in Katrina in 2005, “weprobably would have heard by now,” she said. “Credit unions wouldbe letting us know.”
