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.
That’s the important thing. The rest can be repaired or replaced.

Leesville Louisiana just above Grand Isle has reported they had 153 mph winds.
That’s supposedly the highest verified so far.
Pictures in the news of the destruction in various direct hit areas are a sad sight.
Entergy has a team of 20,000 folks now in Louisiana working to reestablish electrical power .

Folks, the commercial fishing communities were obliterated. So many of my friends lost everything. My heart truly breaks for them.
I went back to the house today. The carport is a total loss. No big deal. I took some neighbors some gas and ice, cleaned out the fridge then came back to the camp.
You may have seen the highway 26 collapse on the news. That was about a mile from my daughter's house. By her best timeline estimate, she had driven across where it collapsed about 30 minutes prior.
I am feeling very fortunate.

Hopefully those folks can get the aid they need to rebuild.

"He knew too what it was to live through a hurricane with the other people of the island and the bond that the hurricane made between all people who had been through it. He also knew that hurricanes could be so bad that nothing could live through them."
