Ed Orgeron sent a message on Twitter Monday to fans in Louisiana amid Hurricane Ida.

Hurricane Ida, a Category 4 storm, has caused damage in Louisiana and surrounding states over the last few days. There have been at least two reported deaths related to the storm. Millions are without power, and there is “catastrophic” damage being projected.

Athletic programs have moved locations amid the storm, including LSU’s football team, which is in Houston. Tigers head football coach Ed Orgeron shared this message of gratitude to Houston. He also expressed his thoughts for all the fans in Louisiana.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to our great fans in the state of Louisiana. Our team is safe in Houston preparing to give our fans a great game. We want thank the City of Houston and the Houston Texans for their hospitality. Geaux Tigers pic.twitter.com/yHh0yVXM9f
