Mobile Businesses Slowly Reopen

By Alabama Public Radio

Mobile, AL – Pharmacies, supermarkets and hardware stores in Mobile started reopening Wednesday for the first time since Hurricane Katrina hit Monday. Many of the businesses were still in the dark and were using generators to operate. In some cases, like at one Mobile Rite Aid, store workers also used flashlights to lead people around. Mobile resident Jennifer Reese says she was just thankful to find ice at a Bruno's supermarket.
