Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hurricane time

Hoping all made it thru ok.

Only heard on the news of 1 death.

Tree fell on someone?

My neighbors are out doing damage assessment right now. I wouldn't be surprised to find out the aluminum carport that is attached to my house got destroyed. I keep my boat under it, but brought my boat with me.

Best of luck to all ya'll.

I have a suspicion that we are going to learn of a number of deaths of people that stayed behind to protect their property. Daylight always brings the grim reminder of the destructive force of storms.

My house appears to be unscathed. Curfew until tomorrow. I'll wait until power is restored and head back in. I am still trying to get in touch with several friends down the bayou that stayed in their houses in vulnerable areas.

Lmao.

I’ll bet there’s boudin and saltine crackers spread for 300 miles around there.

That melon bounced off the concrete.

The condom is slipping off the reporter's toy.

Good news for you Paul it got rough down your way.

I am very worried about some of my friends down in the commercial fishing communities. Many stayed with their boats.

My son just sent me a picture of the wind speed gauge on their ATB. It showed winds sustained at 114 and gusts to 150 before it broke. He was in Norco. Said at least 6 tugs near him sank but they were river boats. Thankfully no one was lost there. One of his buddies was offshore on a drilling ship and was scared [bleep]. They suffered severe damage and were unsure if they were going to make it.

Looks like New Orleans survived any major flooding, levees held, pumps worked. I know that disappoints a few members here.

Power restoration will take a while, hearing a lot of main transmission lines are down.

It is bad but could have been far worse.

LaToya is running a pretty good press conference right now. This is a totally different scene than post-Katrina. I can see that all of the local governments in the area have learned a lot over the last 16 years. I am gradually getting word on friends and family, and everyone appears to be in good shape although they all have sustained damage and know that power will be out for a while. I think the worst places are going to be the places that Paul is worried about, and the coastal areas from which there are still no reports. LaPlace also had a lot of people posting on Twitter asking for rescues last night.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes.

We could use some rain here in No NV.

Things are getting a bit sporty around gas stations with some gun play and a shooting in Livingston Parish.

Just imagine what folks would be like and resort to if, say, the nationwide electrical power grid shutdown for 2 weeks.

Sister lives in Slidell and had sand bags around her front door.

No water got in the house but the house on the East side had a tree fall over.

Clipped her house and crushed her car as well as her son in laws work truck.

But everyone is ok.
