LLO site was generally unaffected by the major flooding in Livingston and Baton Rouge area.

However, access to the site was difficult and hazardous so the site was closed Friday thru Wednesday.

Many staff had their homes inundated with river flood water.

All staff and visitors were either directly or indirectly affected by this event and many are still helping with the clean up and the recovery efforts underway.

The site is now fully open and has returned to regular operation.

Thanks to all of the LIGO family who have reached out to help those in need.

Note: The monthly Science Saturday event scheduled for tomorrow (08/20/2016) has been canceled.
