NEW ORLEANS (WGNO)— Many grocery stores are now open and as expected the lines are long.

At the Rouse’s on Tchoupitoulas Street in Uptown New Orleans people are patiently waiting in line outside to get groceries.

Customers say they have a good stock of supplies right now so that’s good and they need to get their groceries right now because they had to throw away everything in their fridges and freezers. Despite the stress of waiting in line, folks are making the most of it.
