Blues musician Fats Domino, 77, who went missing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was rescued by boat from floodwaters near his New Orleans home. The musician, his wife, Rosemary, and at least one daughter were picked up by rescue boat on Tuesday following efforts by his agent Al Embry to alert authorities that Domino and his family were believed trapped in their home.
Domino ended up as one of thousands of New Orleans residents stranded by flooding after he rebuffed pleas from friends to evacuate as the storm bore down on the city, agent Al Embry told Reuters.
"He is doing well, he's just stressed out a little bit," Embry said in a phone interview from Nashville, Tennessee. "But praise God, he got out of the thing."
Thursday, Domino's niece, Checquoline Davis, reportedly posted a message on an online bulletin board on Thursday pleading for information, on the whereabouts of Fats Domino
She reportedly wrote that Domino, his wife, their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of the second floor of his house.
