That's good news for you. Anything but flooding is just an inconvenience. (If you are insured.)

We have a rig on board. They couldn't get a storm packer to set. they pulled out of the hole and have the derrick full of stands of pipe. Squalls coming through and it got too rough to lay down pipe. When I left the pipe was tied back in the derrick. I expect some of it won't be there when we return. Ida came right by. The good news is our generator is still running. I have called a few times and the answering machine is picking up.

We could use some rain here in So Cal... We heard you the first two times you said the same thing. You can go to Louisiana and collect all you want or hope for a hurricane or tsunami to hit your area. Tsunami would be nice... Might wash away a few lib tards... Any water up in Cheyenne?

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. 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... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/JnW9LhgS/F1-B541-BD-5-D66-40-AC-8-D72-DDD415079-BAA.jpg) Like to lost it. Leg settled. Twisted port leg. Never was right. Couldn’t keep slide shoes in guides. Rip em out. Sob.

The good news with this storm is that the surge is not extreme and there really isn't much rain. A foot, or so, of rain is not unusual for this region at any given time. The bad news is the wind. Again, that's not to make light of this storm. People will be damaged in ways they could never have imagined. Every one of them is different. A few miles east or west is the difference between total devastation and a PITA.

This thing is going to do catastrophic damage. My neighborhood will see 100 mph gusts. When I evacuated yesterday people had moved their cars, campers and trailer boats to the shoulder of highway 90 where it goes through the marsh in eastern LA. Those will be inundated with water. They will probably be scattered all over the road making return via that route impossible.
I see no way that my house doesn't lose power. I emptied all the crap that could go bad out of the fridge. I hate this waiting game. Following Katrina I returned to see 50 foot shrimp boats on the road going to my house. My house was scattered all over several city blocks. I love the Gulf Coast, but this crap gets old. i know the feeling. Good luck Paul. Amen.

Couldn't say but over in Biloxi they have water over the east bound lane of HWY.90 from Hancock county to Longbeach.
In Gulfport the southern land is under water to the Hard Rock casino in Biloxi.
Later tonight they are expecting the rain bands to shift east and all 3 counties in MS as well as Alabama coast is up for some major rain and high tide is between 4 and 5 in the morning.
The rivers that empty on the MS coast are going to be at least 5 to 7 ft. above flood stage.
What a night.

No contact from family and friends in Lakeview, Covington, Uptown or Baton Rouge. A friend in Slidell has cell coverage. I was able to log into a server on Poydras Street, which surprised the heck out of me. The facility may be on emergency power for now.

Entergy had a catastrophic power failure last night.
I just got a text from a friend in Lakeview who sent a picture of the water outside her house. She said that she lost some roofing shingles and the storm literally peeled the paint off the house and that every window and door leaked. The house had been rebuilt after Katrina. Anyway, she was OK with the outcome because it could have been a lot worse.
