We made it through alive & well!! I can't tell you how great it is to have electricity again, I was starting to feel like a pioneer like Daniel Boone - without the hunting dog! I'll send you an update on our buddy soon.
We made it throught intact & in good health, although I think I lost a few pounds. Canned food just doesn't satisfy my appetite, and there was no Spam allowed! Eleven days without electricity is as much an ordeal as the hurricane itself! Thanks for you concern, my best to you & Libby.
We rode it out safely at home, no damage to the house or ourselves except for the emotional trauma of having life turned upsidedown (is that one word?). I'll post a afer-the-storm video soon. It took a long time to get electrical service restored!
Thanks. We should have evacuated but circumstances conspired to keep us here. We were luckier than most and had no personal injuries or losses. Somebody up there was watching out for us!
The island got hit hard, they're comparing the level of destruction to the 1900 storm. I've only seen a few photos so far, but we just got power back a few hours ago!
Oh, honey! We just went through THREE (count 'em THREE) tornado WARNINGS here in Lafayette (within a two hour period) tonight due to Ike...and now we're experiencing high winds. We just got over Gustav.
And, of course, no basements here in Southwestern Louisiana - below sea level.
Somebody remind me again why we moved to this Godforsaken hole? At least you're in the fourth largest city in the country. ;-)
Thanks sweatheart, I guess we live down here because it can be so beautiful. But these things are the price we pay for the beauty of it all. I know what you mean about no basements, they always end up full of water around here too!

How'd it go Mike? You have a very nice looking Arts & Crafts looking Front Door, Hope it held up. Hope you did as well.

We made it! The door's fine, nothing a fresh coat of paint can't fix.

Be safe, my friend...I'll be thinking of you.
