• Katrina hits close to home for Heidenreich
  
  John Heidenreich pleaded with his father.
  
  With Hurricane Katrina bearing down on the entire Gulf Coast, Ronald Heidenreich’s home in Harahan, Louisiana, was sitting right in the path of the impending storm that eventually devastated parts of three states on Monday.
  
  Harahan, which is 10 miles north of New Orleans, was rocked by Katrina, which left most of the historic city and its surrounding suburbs destroyed, flooded and under as much as 20 feet of contaminated water.
  
  New Orleans, a city of nearly half a million people with a metro area of 1.3 million, was under a mandatory evacuation order over the weekend. However, many residents, including Ronald Heidenreich, defied that order and remained home.
  
  “I wanted him to take my (Ford) Expedition and get out of there,” an emotional Heidenreich told WWE.com Tuesday afternoon. “But he has a lot of pets and two homes down there. He’s been through Hurricane Betsy (1965) and Camille (1969). He’s a trooper. But I wanted him to leave.”
