3. Is he safe, or was he just located in a picture?
It appeared that he was removed from his house. That's a good step, but that's all I think is known.

slept on his couch. The football player pulled him out of a shelter in Baton Rouge.

There is a story about his ordeal in the Washington Post today.

'Fats' Domino Discovers a Good Samaritan in LSU Quarterback

By Eli Saslow
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 3, 2005; A19

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'll 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 the apartment Friday afternoon with his wife, Rosemary, two daughters and a son-in-law. He had no idea, he said, where he would go next.

"We've lost everything," said Domino, 77. "I don't know what we're going to do. I never wanted to leave."
