To begin with, one of the cityâs most important legends, Antoine âFatsâ Domino, has not been heard from since Monday afternoon.

Domino, 76, lives with his wife Rosemary and daughter in a three story pink-roofed house in New Orleansâ 9th ward, which is now underwater. On Monday afternoon, Domino told his manager, Al Embry of Nashville, that he would âride out the stormâ at home. Embry is now frantic.
Calls have been made to Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blancoâs office and to various police officials and though thereâs lots of sympathetic response, the whereabouts of Domino and his family remain a mystery.
