GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) The mother and grandmother of Green Bay Packers' quarterback Brett Favre (fahrv) spent Monday night in the attic of their Mississippi house, avoiding Hurricane Katrina. Favre's mother called the veteran signal-caller this afternoon to say she is alright but that his childhood home has been damaged so badly that it will have to be demolished.<br>

Favre's family lives in Kiln, Mississippi, in the heart of the Gulf Coast are devastated by the Hurricane. A team spokesman says water filled the house in five to ten minutes.<br>
