Witness Protection Program Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Louise is still there according to twitter. Reports saying the town was gone are apparently false. 99% of the time when someone posts a town "Is wiped off the map" it translates into "A handful of buildings were damaged."
