Oh lawd, lawd. He has arisen.
Even dead seemed to try to flee Ike’s wrath
Hurricane Katrina chased bluesman Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown from his adopted home in New Orleans to his hometown here on the Texas Gulf Coast, where he died in exile. Now, another hurricane has disturbed his rest.
The 1982 Grammy Award winner’s casket was one of dozens belched up by the ground when gulf and rain waters from Hurricane Ike flooded Hollywood Cemetery, an all-black burial ground on the west side of this city on the Sabine River.
This story will be told for centuries.
