The video of Slidell Police Sgt. Jake Morris talking to his son went viral on social media during Wednesday storms. Slidell Police Sergeant Jake Morris was not unlike many parents across the metro area Wednesday. He had an essential job to do with his community in the path of some very rare severe weather. With schools closing and young children, he had decisions to make. Sergeant Morris left his sons with his grandmother while he went on to work, expecting a busy day that at best would likely bring some flooded roads and power outages and at worst could have him needing to play an important role in rescuing people from danger.
