Officials said there were 65 residents at the nursing home, St. Rita&#8217;s, but they could not say how some of them survived while others perished. Elsewhere in the parish, the officials said 22 bodies were found bound together in a subdivision. Officials were uncertain of the circumstances, but they said the victims most likely tried to keep together to weather the storm. &#8220;I will never again tell people that help is on the way,&#8221; said Thomas M. Stone, the parish fire chief. &#8220;It&#8217;s not coming.&#8221;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The guy who runs this building I&#8217;m in, emergency management, he&#8217;s responsible for everything.
