For coastal dwellers it seems like there's enough hurricanes for it always to be not if you'll get hit but when... Death, taxes, hurricanes...... Life is good though no matter how you look at it. Inshore/Offshore....we're all dealing with something. Thank God for kids.

I'm from Houma and stayed, I don't know what's being reported, we're connected to the world by a thread right now, but Houma is ground zero. To be quite frank, this was the worst storm I've been through. Most of the people I know stayed, the ones that left are back home, the ones that have moved out years ago are back now helping.
It's easy to say get out, but in reality for most of us in this bayou community it's home, it's family, and it's everything we've worked for our entire lives. My wife worked through the storm at the local hospital, no way in hell was I leaving her behind, our kids were evacuated and safe. We're a strong bunch, disasters like this bring us together and make us even stronger. It'll be hell for quite a while, but we'll get past it, and life will return to normal. It's what we do.
One thing a hurricane will do is restore your faith in humanity when sometimes it seems like all is lost.

My wife just showed me before and after pictures of Oak Alley. Terrible.
The BiL that recently lost his wife to the virus is in Mandeville and has no power and, until today, no water. No power for the well, but he has a generator now. He has an RV, but insists on staying in the hot muggy house rather than move to the RV and run the AC off another generator. I don’t believe he’s thinking clearly.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

I get the Shreveport La. news and saw where 2 Alabama linemen were killed trying to restore power in Adger, Al. We need to be praying for the power crews.
