I just read that Fats Domino is among the missing in New Orleans. The reports are so horrific that to focus on one life might seem unfair, but Fats Domino is someone I know. I never met him, but I grew up with his music because my father was a huge fan. Hearing he's missing just shatters my (already broken) heart.

Checquoline Davis, Domino's niece, posted a message on Craigslist.com Thursday pleading for information. Davis wrote that Domino, his wife, their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of the second floor.
Domino, who has rarely appeared in public in recent years, has a home in the 9th ward, a low-lying area of the flooded city""
