Where is everyone? They left Louisiana.

I am beginning to think that there has been a huge drop in population.

Yesterday, I went to Walmart in Houma at about 6 pm, which in the past has been one of the busiest stores in the region. The store was dead. The general merchandise entrance had just a few cars, and the grocery side was about half full. Usually the place is buzzing and there are lines at the self checkouts. The store was as quiet as a funeral home.
