@LSUBonnette says Jim Hawthorne has been rescued and is now safe. Great news on a sad weekend here in Baton Rouge.

LSU asking media for help locating Jim Hawthorne. His home took on water. No one's heard from him since 9 pm yesterday.

Retired LSU announcer Jim Hawthorne presumed missing after his house floods LINK

I hope they just evacuated to a hotel or something. Be okay, Jim.

That's a needlessly petty thing to say. Yes, everything possible needs to be done to find everyone who's missing or hasn't been heard from, but you can't hate on them for using their platform to find their fiend and colleague.

AT&T is his carrier. Let's hope that is why no one has heard from him.

Let's hope that Jim Hawthorne and his wife are ok in a shelter somewhere and that they simply can't get in touch with anyone.

Yes, let's hope it's just because ATT is his carrier.

I just got my service back a few minutes ago, so I hope someone can now call him.

Bonette, don't say he has just been rescued because the phones work now. But glad he is in fact safe.
