With the worst of Isaac having blown through the Capital Region, Baton Rouge officials announced this morning they plan to reopen city-parish government offices Friday. The area saw relatively minor damage from the storm, mainly tree damage and power outages. It was not nearly as severe as when Hurricane Gustav devastated East Baton Rouge Parish four years ago, severely damaging the power grid, toppling trees and leaving some houses stripped of roofs and worse. Mayor Kip Holden and other officials are scheduled to provide an update on how Baton Rouge fared through Isaac during a midmorning press conference today.
