Weather chanel reporter came out of his shelter and said Houma was in the eye wall for several hours.

Trees, electrical lines, roofs in roads. Trying to clear roads for emergency vehicles response according to police to get to those in need.

Curfew till daylight.

A couple of scetchy videos from Houma aired on weather channel no lenghty reports.

Just talked to my buddy in Houma.
crazy Coonass called me.
went outside and the wind was still sounding like a jet was nearby.

He lost 2 big trees and his boat cover (little 1/2 shed over boat). Boat is fine
Generator running good and lots of fuel on hand.
saw ready and will start clearing roads at first light to help out.

was sad he didnt get to see the eye.
He crazy, but a good dude.

Thanks for that report makes me feel better. I'm not calling anyone tonight.

Now they will have flooding and yard gators to deal with.

Dont open up a door without a gun especially if you got a nice porch.

My father in law would have to shoot them to get outside. He lived about 400 yards from the ICW.

Large lost pissed off gators.
 
For those here that live in the effected areas , what kind of damage do you have . Center of storm ,as of this post , is 50 miles south of me ,headed my way. Forecast to pass directly over us. Light rain ATM .

In Zachary la a little to the west of the eye - no damage to my trees or house but lost power at 930 last night. Obviously it depends on what trees you have and type construction.

Many cellphone towers out / flatened, temporary replacements not up yet.

I have many uncontacted people I'm worried about but not panic time.

Yep, Zachary was pretty much spared! Unlike the rain of 2016, when my great grandson got his first boatride, with his father walking in shoulder high water, dragging a bateau to high ground. with my granddaughter and great grandson in it. My daughter and her husband rode it out at their home.....but, has video of local law officers “boating” their kids to high ground!

I haven’t heard from my cousin yet, that lives near Walker. They flood pretty regularly.....I’m sure they have ofr will have 6 to 8 feet of water before this ends! memtb

My father in law that lived in Houma, rest his sole was old school.

He was always stocked up, he always had a snubnose in his pocket but when storms came he had a few rules that he made sure I remembeted.

Storm comes in rifle comes out,
He said big gators were too hard to kill with a pistol and didn't want to be too close. (My son had to put two 9mm +p defense rounds at point blank into one)

When I first stayed at his house I asked him if he wanted me to take his ax out to the garage, NO that was the downstairs house ax and there was an upstairs ax as well and they were never to be touched.

The boat was to be tied to the first and second story.

The pictures from Houma look bad but that was the intent of the photographer. I recognised several locations, Petite Bayou Cayue fire station, Houma Inn, downtown hospital district all messed up by wind dammage.

Still no word from my friends on megan court off of couteu road.
It's near where I 24? Crosses the ICW.

Hope you hear from them! That area took it hard.
 
No word from my family in New Orleans. As always, wanted them to head north but they said they were just not able. Given more notice I would have gotten them. Some friends have damage some have little but unlike previous years, people are ok. (Now waiting for word from NO).

In North Central and North West Louisiana, the dry air and the eastward motion saved us. No damage, not even any real wind excepting one outerband thunderstorm Saturday. Lasted about 30 minutes and that was our hurricane. Same thing for us when Katrina hit.

This sure beats Rita and Laura. 200 miles from the coast and we get hurricane level winds with higher gusts. Tore us up pretty bad. All but suggesting to Brenda that we try locating a nice home in Northwest Arkansas. Near (or on) Beaver Creek Lake. Audrey, Camille, Typhoon Hester, living with the aftermath of Katrina, then Rita, then Michael and Sally (close to and then right at where our son lives) then Laura and now the aftermath of Ida.

GOD Bless Mr. Honda and his fine generators.

Twin Spans, Causeway and I-10 from Texas to Mississippi is open, I-12 is open too. You might be able to check on them.
 
I saw Slow Joe, AKA Mr Potato Head will be in Louisiana tomorrow. I can see it now, he'll step or fall off Air Force One and tell everybody that he will dedicate all the resources he can to the storm recovery for the great state of Texas!
Fucktard! This shit ain't funny anymore!
 
Well that sucked. Hammond is a mess. Covington/Mandeville is getting some power back.

I dont understand how my house has no damage and how my neighborhood has very very minimal damage.

Im in the bedico area if anyone needs anything. Just waiting for power so I can leave the dogs and the food and then we'll be 100% cleanup/work.

Had this shifted West Lake Charles would have been done for sure. It is still in devastation from Laura, not to mention Delta punted us in the nuts. I still haven't found all my siding from those two and I'm up north by Leesville.

Yeah, Laura sucked last year. We also had a "hurricane warning" in Shreveport. First time ever for that. We're used to getting the remnants of the storms, but Laura was a bitch.

Fort Polk Airfield Tower apparently recorded 135mph peak wind gusts in the Leesville area for Laura. That was a wild storm.

My inlaws own about 1500 acres in Richland Parish. I was worried about the corn too. Luckily for the farmers here, the storm turned east. The farmers are harvesting furiously to get the corn out.
