LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- More than 1400 evacuees staying at the Exposition Center until they will be able to return to their homes. More than 1.9 million people have been evacuated from New Orleans alone.

Kerri Richardson, a spokeswoman for Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson, said four flights from New Orleans arrived Saturday and two more had arrived by Sunday afternoon.

The evacuees were taken to the south wing of the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, where a shelter had been set up.

Also, the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley based in Louisville deployed three Disaster Assistance Response Teams (DARTs) from Louisville, Paducah and Huntington, W.Va., to the Gulf Coast.
