Season nears: Spots remain available in Louisiana’s recreational alligator lottery, with the season running Oct. 1-31 across eight harvest zones. Opportunities are first-come, first-served, with a nonrefundable $50 application fee per zone, and hunters can win opportunities in multiple zones but only once per zone. Applicants must be Louisiana residents age 16 or older, hunter education certified, and obtain the required alligator and basic hunting licenses.
Tiger’s new table: Former LSU quarterback Rohan Davey is opening Joelle’s Soul and Savour, a new 160-seat Creole and Caribbean restaurant on Westfork Drive, where he serves as a silent partner and chef. The restaurant, which opens Friday, will blend Louisiana favorites such as seafood gumbo and boudin dip with Jamaican and Caribbean dishes including oxtails, jerk lamb chops, jerk chicken and plantains. 225 has the full story.
Aviation concerns: A strengthening Super El Niño could create significant flight disruptions this fall and winter, particularly across the South, where heavier rain, flooding and severe storms may lead to delays, rerouting, ground stops and cancellations. Strong El Niño conditions can also increase wind shear and turbulence, creating additional challenges for aircraft operating through affected regions. The FAA says it can coordinate with airlines to reposition aircraft and adjust routes ahead of severe weather, while travelers should closely monitor their airline’s flight status for changes.
