Just got a report from my neighbor. Power is still on, roofs look intact, no trees down and no flooding. I have seen some Facebook live feeds that have been damn impressive. You'll end up seeing some of them when they come out on You Tube and the like.

WVUE and WWL are still running their on-air broadcasts online. I didn't check the others. My sister still has power in Lakeview. She said it was a bit breezy.

I got off my platform yesterday and drove out of there yesterday. It was crazy on the highway yesterday. Flew in over Fourchon and Grand Isle. Landed in Houma. Drove through LaPlace yesterday to get to I55. Weather was normal yesterday. Saw a lot of families yesterday just hanging out in the rest areas and.parking lots. At least they won't drown.

If the initial reports are true, the backup emergency generators failed to start at the Thibodeaux, Louisiana main hospital. Posing serious problems in the ICU.

I have never been to Louisiana and I'm not being a smart ass, but do a lot of people there live in areas at or below sea level or the high tide line?
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

To get any appreciable gains in elevation, you have to get above I-10. Unfortunately, since the various industries in the area have a maritime nexus, they all located well south of I-10. People need to live reasonably close to where they work.

Drove through LaPlace yesterday to get to I55. Weather was normal yesterday. Saw a lot of families yesterday just hanging out in the rest areas and.parking lots. At least they won't drown. I don’t miss getting a rig ready for hurricanes. Sounds fun, we’ll go party in the motel for a couple days. Fug that. Pull outta the hole. Run in with storm packer. Lay down pipe outta the Derrick. Nipple stack down. Put on storm cap. Skid in. Chain down everything you can. Weld down the rest. Around 2009 or 10. We were moving the rig. Hurricane formed. This was in late November or early December. Strange for a hurricane. No one expected it to do anything We were in processes of towing to a new field / block for a other operator. Finally decided once we got in their field to jackup. Never got a 100% preload. About 30’ air gap. Had to go. Went to Lafayette. We they flew back out to start up rig... Like to lost it. Leg settled. Twisted port leg. Never was right. Couldn’t keep slide shoes in guides. Rip em out.

The media, therefore most people, focus on the nearest high-population cities during a hurricane. They will never understand the real damage and remediation involved in storms of this magnitude. It will be almost a year before things effected by the worst of this storm are restored, but in two days it will be old news.
Except for the Democrats effected. That is forever.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

My neighbor just gave me an update. Power went out about 2 hours ago. A few trees and limbs down in the neighborhood. No flooding and no apparent damage to houses. I have heard from some of my friends down the bayou. Bad. Really fugging bad.
