There is usually an Amtrack train that runs to Houston and beyond every other day. You could check to see if they are running. I know they are also using trains in the evacuation, however.
Also, if you can reach your nephew tell him to call in to a local Baton Rouge radio or television station. There are several Baton Rouge stations broadcasting 24 hour call-in formats. They take callers with a question or problem such as yours. Many local citizens will call back and offer to assist. Church groups also are helping individuals that have a place to go, get there.
Go to www.wbrz.com for local Baton Rouge area information. You may be able to call in directly to the station and be referred to a local organization that will have someone to drive your nephew to Houston. If I were closer to Baton Rouge, I would offer to go myself but I really have my hands full.
Let me know if any of this helped. If not, I will see what else I can do.
