BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 2 -- New Orleans music legend Antoine "Fats" Domino survived Hurricane Katrina, but he's still unsure, he said Friday, about how he will survive its aftermath.

Domino spent the last three nights sleeping on a couch in the two-bedroom, Baton Rouge apartment of Louisiana State starting quarterback JaMarcus Russell, a distant family friend. Domino left that apartment Friday afternoon with his wife, two of his daughters and a son-in-law. He had no idea, he said, where he would go next. "We've lost everything," Domino said. "I don't know what we're going to do."

"Without JaMarcus, it would have been even worse," Domino said. "We can't thank him enough for letting us stay.

"I'm worried about all the people in New Orleans. Tell them I love them, and I wish I was home with them. I hope we'll see them soon," Domino said.
